INSTITUTIONAL ACTIVITIES
With its offer to develop an international financing mechanism to channel humanitarian assistance to
the Palestinians, the EU has affirmed its active role in the Middle East and its commitment to finding
constructive solutions , Foreign Minister Plassnik commented on her return from the meeting with the
Quartet members USA, Russia and the United Nations in New York on 9 May 2006. We are by no means
indifferent to the fate of the Palestinians. At the same time it must be clear: we call on Hamas not to abdicate
their responsibility towards the people who elected them , the Minister added. In this context, she also
described the meeting of the Quartet with the foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan as
particularly useful. The three Arab foreign ministers reported on their efforts to exert influence on the Hamas
government in terms of the Arab League initiative for peace with Israel. For the full press release:

The Euromediterranean Parliamentary Assembly (EMPA) reiterates its warning against the chaos
which would result from cutting aid to Palestinian people. The President of the European Parliament, Josep
Borrell attended the EMPA Bureau meeting in Tunis on 6 May. Following a detailed discussion of the plight of
the Palestinian people, and the EU decision to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority, the Bureau reiterated its
concerns about the impact of funds being cut. "In March 2006, the EMPA adopted a clear position by
consensus, warning against the chaos which would result from cutting aid to Palestinian people and
withholding customs revenues. In Tunis, the Bureau reiterated this position, and I hope that the European
Parliament will take a position on this issue following the visit of Mahmoud Abbas next week", stated
President Borrell. The Bureau also engaged in a wide-ranging discussion on human rights in which the
President raised the status of the Tunisian Human Rights League, which continues to face severe
restrictions in attempting to carry out its work. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/president/defaulten.htm
The EU welcomes the amnesty issued by Algerian President Bouteflika on the occasion of World Press
Freedom Day (3rd May) on behalf of convicted journalists. This measure constitutes a positive signal as
regards the willingness of the Algerian leadership to respect the freedom of the press. The EU hopes that this
measure will be followed by a change in the practice of the application of the law on defamation in order to
bring it in line with Algeria s obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Vienna Declaration on Security Partnership. Internal security between the EU and its neighbours was
discussed at the Ministerial Conference held on 4-5 May 2006 in Vienna, Austria. Representatives from more
than 50 countries and international organisations including neighbouring Arab countries participated in the
conference. To address common and current security challenges, the participants expressed their wish to
develop a Partnership for Security based on mutual trust and common interest. The Conference especially
emphasized the coherent framework offered by the European Neighbourhood Policy for cooperation on
security-related matters in line with common international standards. Concrete measures and actions have been
identified in three priority areas: combating terrorism, organised crime and corruption, and migration. The
