lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. The European Union is the world’s largest donor of humanitarian aid, providing more than 40% of all official international humanitarian assistance. There has been a significant increase across the globe in the number and severity of natural disasters caused, particularly, by the impact of climate change. The humanitarian context has changed profoundly in recent years, hence, the need to improve the EU’s disaster response capability. I believe that the European Union must invest greater efforts in disaster risk reduction and provide support – in addition to one-off aid – for local communities’ disaster-preparedness capabilities. It is worrying that violations of international humanitarian law are increasingly common and the situation in the field is deteriorating. I agree that the European Union must take action to improve the coordination of humanitarian aid and stop any kind of abuse of this aid."@en1
