"I voted in favour of this resolution on Sudan and South Sudan because the referendum that took place in South Sudan, in which the majority of residents voted in favour of the creation of an independent South Sudan state, is proof of the democratic will of its citizens. After seven years of war, the majority of the population of South Sudan live in poverty and education indicators are the lowest in the world. I therefore welcome the EU decision to allocate EUR 200 million in aid to South Sudan in order to help the most vulnerable segments of the population. These funds must be allocated to education, health, agriculture and institutional capacity building. I welcome the extension of the UN Mission in Sudan and the deployment of additional peace-keeping forces because it is now particularly important to ensure the peaceful development of Sudan and South Sudan. The creation of the new state is a complicated process, where it is necessary to resolve very quickly the questions of establishing common borders, granting citizenship to populations from the southern and northern regions, and the distribution of revenue obtained from oil, etc. Having signed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the countries should engage constructively in political dialogue. It is important to carry out a constitutional review in South Sudan so that all political parties work together to represent all the people of the new country and help to build stable, democratic political institutions."@en1
