Paragraph 5
5. Emphasises the importance of maintaining commitment and payment appropriations in the humanitarian aid chapter at least on the same level as commitment appropriations, so as to avoid a return to the situation in recent years where a severe and constant lack of funds for payments complicated urgent interventions and led to the accumulation of unpaid bills, with negative effects also on implementing partners; points to the need for equal appropriations also in the Emergency Aid Reserve.
