The EU is one of the largest donors of development and humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. Between 2002 and 2007, the European Commission assigned a total of EUR 1 400 000 000 in aid to that country.
This is an excellent report, because it is based on correct propositions and makes a number of sound recommendations. For example, controls of EU funds must be extended and more drastic efforts must be made to address the rampant corruption in that country. (In fact, does this not apply to all developing countries that receive our aid?)
The European Parliament also argues in favour of more development support and an extension of the Commission’s delegation in Kabul to carry out the necessary verifications, audits and inspections.
As Afghanistan will make or break the fight against international terrorism, additional budgetary efforts are more than welcome."@en1
