Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the factNotes that the EU has identified Iraq as a pilot country in which to better address and operationalise the humanitarian-development nexus in order to foster a transition from humanitarian assistance to longer term development; does not consider this to be the wisest decision, and takes the view that it implies dispersion of limited resources, given the political and territorial breakup of the Iraqi State, and that it would have been considerably wiser to choose Libya or any other country in Africa; urges the EU and its Member States, however, to enhance first of all their efforts to urgently address key humanitarian challenges and human needs, in particular regarding the more than 3 million internally displaced personsAfrica;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Believes that, during the transition from emergency assistance to development, a long-term approach, requires the reconstruction of the organs of the State, (insert 'while'? - translator's note) stabilisation, reforms and improvements in the areas of good governance and accountability to the people, education and skills development, access to livelihood opportunities and provision of basic social services are priority areas for development assistance, but that development requires above all profitable private investment and not new expenditure; insists that the EU and its Member States should act in the framework of a regional development strategy that does not exclude any State, including the legal government of the Arab Republic of Syria, in order to avoid displacing the Islamist terrorist threat from one country to a neighbouring country; looks forward to receiving concrete proposals on envisaged actions that respond to those needs and urges the Commission to provide evidence of the results and impacts achieved within the framework of the multiannual indicative programme 2014-2017;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Insists that the provision of humanitarian aid and development assistance must be needs-based and non- partisan in order to support an effective stabilisation and reconstruction process, which requires private operators to be involved in a context in which investments are safeguarded; stresses that external actors, including the EU, must actively mitigate the risk of assistance being instrumentalised by domestic political actors or allocated in a way that discriminates against or privileges specific groups; believes, however, that what is important is to establish profitable private investment flows, but that this task will be impossible until territorial integrity is restored and a legitimate and stable central government inspires confidence on the part of new investors;
