Paragraph 8
8. Recalls that the EU budget is a tool of internal solidarity in that it supports economic, social and territorial cohesion, helps combat poverty and promotes social inclusion; stresses that it is also an instrument of external solidarity by helping make the EU the biggest donor of development aid, by offering support to neighbouring countries and by assisting countries and people facing humanitarian and civilian crises; points out, furthermore, that more efficient use of the budget could allow support to be stepped up for EU policies on the right of asylum and migrant assistance, with particular reference to action in the southern Mediterranean area;
