14.1.2011

Question for written answer E-000285/2011
to the Commission
Rule 117
Pino Arlacchi (S&D)

Considering the highly fragmented nature of international aid to Afghanistan, and in view of the urgent need to establish coordination mechanisms among international donor countries and to provide for detailed evaluations of EU and international aid in order to combat the lack of transparency and the limited mechanisms for donor accountability,

1. could the Commission set out the main differences as regards types of aid, broken down by origin (EU, the United States, etc.)?

2. could the Commission give its assessment of the different procedures for monitoring the use of EU funds in Afghanistan?
