Question for written answer E-014071-13
to the Commission
Rule 117
Norbert Neuser (S&D)

Soil erosion and water management is a big problem in the mountainous regions of Ethiopia, and one which will increase in the future with the effects of climate change. The EU is financing a project on sustainable land management in Ethiopia.

What is the Commission’s assessment of the project? Is it successful in the local context and given the prospect of climate change? Is the Commission considering continuing to finance the project after the end of the current project cycle?
