Paragraph 48
48. Recalls the importance of the Emergency Aid Reserve in providing a rapid response to specific aid requirements for thirdsuch as financing humanitarian, civilian crisis management and protection operations in non-EU countries for unforeseen events and its earlier call for a substantial increase in its financial envelope, as part of the revision of the MFF; notes that its very quick consumption in 2016, likely to use up all possibilities of carry-over, is an indication that this special instrument will be vastly insufficient to address all additional needs in 2017; increases therefore its appropriations to reach an annual allocation of EUR 1 billion and expects the MFF Regulation to be adjusted accordingly, enabling the scope of intervention to be broadened;
