"Madam President, according to a United Nations Regional Information Centre brochure, the EU, with an eagerness to spend money, has been supporting the African Union in the development of an African security architecture since 2004. Up to 2007, the financial support amounted to at least EUR 300 million.
However, this financial support is only meaningful if the African Union actively cooperates to ensure peace in crisis-torn regions of Africa. It is apparent, however, that the African Union is in fact not very cooperative. At the summit in Libya in July 2009, it was decided that the Member States would not hand over the President of Sudan if he entered the territory there. There is an old saying that ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’ – not very elegant, but there is a certain amount of truth in it. In simple terms, that means that the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy needs to make it absolutely clear that the EU funds for peacemaking measures in Africa can only be provided if the African Union and the Arab League cooperate with the International Criminal Court in future, instead of undermining its work."@en1
