"Madam President, my thanks to the two rapporteurs. As you said, I am speaking as the rapporteur for AFET (Committee on Foreign Affairs), and we are largely concerned with Heading 4, which focuses on the EU’s external action and within which the biggest crisis has occurred. The problems, from Ukraine through Syria to Libya, are not going to be resolved overnight. At the same time, the ongoing turbulence in Africa and elsewhere will be detrimental to our own future security, and the consequences of climate change are plain for all to see. We have seen a spike in natural disasters across the world. That is why our committee wants a genuine revision that increases Heading 4, to raise the ceilings for both payments and commitment appropriations, and the creation of a permanent crisis reserve, to address the short-term crisis without cutting into the long-term policies that are vital for addressing the root causes. So in these turbulent times I think it is really vital that the EU stands for its values as the world’s largest aid donor, supporting the most vulnerable globally. One lesson from the UK referendum is that many see the EU’s inability to resolve the global crisis as a problem, so I would really urge all, the Council and Commission, to address this as soon as possible by increasing Heading 4."@en1
