Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Reiterates its position that external assistance should be financed in full from the Union’s budget and emphasises that actions under the trust funds (EUTFs) are only bridging solutions until their full replacement by the future EFIs, in particular the Neighbourhood Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) and the Instrument for Pre- accession Assistance (IPA III); regrets that humanitarian objectives, such as preserving the dignity and human rights of migrants and other vulnerable groups have not been met in the implementation of actions under the TFs such as EU TF Madad and EU TF for Africa in several instances; recalls furthermore that the respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms, the promotion of the rule of law, democratic principles, freedom of religion and belief, transparency, good governance and peace and stability are essential elements of the EU TF for Colombia; calls on the Commission to increase scrutiny of the actions of the implementing partners in this regard.
