".
Madam President, we finally reached a decision before the holidays; this was not easy, and the decision was quite some way from the first Commission proposal. The experience was a painful one for all of us, mainly because we were slow in delivering on our promises and the respective budgetary authorities were not sufficiently sensitive to each other's positions. This experience showed how difficult it is to solve our internal problems and at the same time to help those in emergency situations in the world.
Finally, however, we reached a decision, and I hope that you will vote in favour of the mobilisation of the EUR 15 million from the flexibility instrument in this plenary. Regarding the EUR 142 million on which a decision has already been reached, I can inform you that the commitments have been made. Therefore, from our point of view, we have done the best we can.
In response to your remarks, I would emphasise that we did everything we could in the way we could, but, of course, the know-how we have on improving administrative capacities to absorb aid can and must be shared. The Commission will do this in the best way it can.
The Commission understands that, for this year, the issue of the financing of the remaining EUR 13 million is still to be solved. The Commission will be in a position to come forward with a proposal on the matter by the end of this month."@en1
