"Madam President, not very long ago we discussed South Sudan in the urgency debate one Thursday afternoon. We are discussing it again here tonight, which is indicative of the European Union’s commitment – and the commitment of the European Parliament in particular – to progress in matters in this fragile new state. That is the way it should be because we have a reputation – and rightly so – for being the biggest donor of humanitarian development aid in the world.
Obviously this is a country that needs a lot of help. It has a lot of potential but it does not have the wherewithal or the experience to develop its potential as of now, particularly in relation to its natural resources – oil, etc. It is fairly rich in those but it needs a proper infrastructure to be developed. It is important that our aid will go towards ensuring this is done because that will eventually lead them to be more independent and more viable. Education is also very important for everybody in order to eliminate some of the bad customs they have had there, particularly in relation to their attitudes to women over many years."@en1
