The rapporteur, Mr Howitt (PSE, UK), called on the Community to support those projects that related to mine clearance, the eradication of sexual violence, the provision of essential health care (including psychological treatment) and support for the family unit, including family tracing and reunification programmes. He also wanted to see the Community provide support for operations intended to help people recover their possessions and rights of property, as for example in Guatemala, where 2% of the population owned 98% of the land. Finally, the rapporteur highlighted the need for refugees to participate in the programmes being set up for their benefit and wanted to see displaced persons returning of their own free will and settling in their home areas or in a host country. Commissioner Papoutsis confirmed that the Commission was committed to improving the lot of refugees in their host country, as well as to delivering better training and health services for the population and providing aid for small-scale infrastructure projects. He also flatly rejected Amendments Nos 5 and 12.
Commissioner Bjerregaard said that the proposal was aimed at clearly defining the legal reference framework within which the Commission could provide specific assistance to displaced persons in Asia and Latin America. This was designed to help those who had had to leave their country of origin as a result of conflict and internal troubles and who were in need of targeted aid in order to be able to live independently and to integrate themselves into the social and professional life of the host or repatriation country. The Commission’s proposal aimed to set up a vast network of cooperation partners, UN agencies, other international organisations, government bodies and regional associations; it was also necessary to create the flexibility needed to improve those situations that were in a state of perpetual change and to confront the dangers and tensions that existed in order to help re-establish peace in the countries concerned. This was why the Commission was prepared to accept many of the amendments tabled by the Committee on Development and Cooperation.
The Council held an exchange of views on the draft Regulation on ‘operations to aid uprooted people (refugees, displaced persons and returnees) in Asian and Latin American developing countries’, in order to prepare its common position to be adopted when the European Parliament had delivered its opinion. Following the discussion it noted a broad convergence of views on the draft common position. The operations concerned by this draft Regulation concern the urgent requirements not covered by humanitarian aid and the longer-term realisation of projects and action programmes aimed at the self-sufficiency and (re)integration of such uprooted people. The potential beneficiaries of the operations under the draft Regulation are uprooted people in the developing countries of Asia and Latin America and persons from one of these countries provisionally settled in another developing country and, in duly justified, exceptional cases, other refugees, ‘displaced’ persons, ‘returnees’, the local population of host territories particularly affected and certain former soldiers.
