EU humanitarian assistance to Sri Lanka

Summary: November 27, 2002: Humanitarian assistance to Sri Lanka (Brussels)

The European Commission has pledged €17.5 million from its 2003 budget to the Sri Lankan peace process and immediate humanitarian assistance programmes. This sum is in addition to €17.3 million already committed or programmed under the 2002 budget. At the Sri Lanka Peace Process Support Meeting held in Oslo on 25 November 2002, the Commission indicated that it is also finalising with the Government the use of €20 million in Counterpart Funds to support the Unified Assistance Scheme set up to help resettle internally displaced persons. A larger pledging conference for Sri Lanka is planned for Tokyo in late Spring 2003. The Commission is preparing a supplementary pledge for that occasion.
