"The establishment of a European Endowment for Democracy (EED) responds to the need to provide the European Union with a rapid response mechanism adapted to the challenges of democratisation in today’s world. It will support a wide variety of actors striving for democracy and the rule of law (NGOs, bloggers, activists and political movements). This endowment – and we were reminded of this in the recommendation which I supported – must not overlap with the other existing instruments. Its added value resides in a light structure, flexible procedures and simplified financing networks. The EED, unlike the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR), will be part of a short- and medium-term logic to provide rapid assistance to pro-democracy actors in need of it. Furthermore, we have also recalled how important it is for Parliament to exercise broad oversight over the endowment, not only in terms of its budget."@en1
