"I welcome the commitment that the EU has made to provide aid to the people of Haiti following the earthquake that hit the country in January. Before the earthquake, more than 70% of people in Haiti were living below the poverty line, and the country’s foreign debt amounted to USD 890 million. The international community now has a duty to contribute to drawing up a strategy of reconstruction for the country which will be sustainable in the short, medium and long terms. This is a critical time in the coordination of reconstruction efforts between international aid donors, the Haitian authorities and civil society, and I welcome the recent decision by the G7 to write off Haiti’s debts, including debts to multilateral credit institutions. It is vital that we help this country to recover from the earthquake, but the international community must also take advantage of this opportunity to help to resolve the economic, social and political inequalities within Haiti."@en1
