and since the European Union is contributing 31 million dollars to the Plan does the Council intend to
take action to suspend cooperation with this Colombian anti-drugs Plan?

If not, what reforms will it propose to prevent even more European taxpayers’ money from being wasted?

Reply

(19 December 2002)

1. While supporting the efforts of the Colombian government to put an end to the violence that affects
this country, the European Union is not contributing to the so-called ‘Plan Colombia’. The EU has put
forward its own support package, made public in Bogotá on 24 October 2000. At the third meeting of the
Support Group for the peace process in Colombia, on 30 April 2001 in Brussels, an EC contribution of
EUR 140 million (EUR 105 million in programmable aid and EUR 35 million in non-programmable aid)
was confirmed. In addition, Member States’ contributions amount to up to EUR 230 million.

2.

EC assistance is focused on:

(cid:1) the support of ongoing Colombian activities in the search for peace;

(cid:1) targeting the roots and causes of the conflict;

(cid:1) providing humanitarian assistance to the victims of the conflict.

As concerns its own assistance, the EU closely monitors that its implementation is in line with the

3.
established objectives and rules.

In view of this catastrophe:

(cid:1) To what extent could structural assistance be redeployed so as to make funding available from the EU

Structural Funds, in order to ensure that the victims receive rapid financial assistance?
