  • [01] Commission provides €300 million to PEGASE and UNRWA in fulfilment of its Paris Pledge to support the Palestinian people

    As of today, the European Commission makes available €300 million to finance activities under both the PEGASE mechanism (€229 million) and to UNRWA (€71 million) to support Palestine refugees. PEGASE activities support the Palestinian Authority's Reform and Development Plan in the areas of Governance, Social Development, Economic and Private Sector Development, and Public Infrastructure. Support to UNRWA includes the EC's regular contribution to the general budget (€66 million), as well as support to UNRWA's Special Hardship Cases scheme for the most vulnerable refugees.

    Rediffusion

    [02] Statement by Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn following the meeting of President Christofias and Mr Talat in Nicosia on 21 March 2008

    "The European Union welcomes the successful meeting between the two leaders and their agreement to take full responsibility for the future conduct of the negotiations. I commend their decision to meet again in three months' time to review the work of the working groups and technical committees and, using their results, start full-fledged negotiations under the auspices of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The EU stands ready to support the negotiations and both parties. I also congratulate the leaders on the important symbolic decision to open the Ledra Street crossing forty-four years after it was closed. The Commission has made more than 100.000 euros available to UNDP to carry out works at the crossing point. I look forward to walking across the Green Line at Ledra Street myself in the near future."
