“In the European Union's view, the presence of a MINUSTAH military contingent can still make a major contribution to ensuring peace and stability in Haiti during the election period, in accordance with resolution 2180 (2014). In conclusion, I would like to express the European Union's appreciation for MINUSTAH's important contribution, during its 10 years of existence, to stabilizing security and consolidating democracy and the rule of law in Haiti. The European Union remains committed to supporting the efforts of the Haitian authorities, the United Nations and the international community in order to ensure a better future for all the people of Haiti.”

“The programme's purpose is to go beyond the study of electoral issues and to tackle more global topics relating to governance, strengthening the rule of law and reforming the constitutional framework. We also note, within the general improvement in the security situation, a significant increase in protests motivated by socioeconomic factors and a resort to violence. In the context ofa very significant and complex election year, the European Union believes that a more stable and inclusive political climate that transcends political divisions and short-term interests is all the more essential. The contribution of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) therefore remains crucial to the country's democracy, peace and stability.”

“The European Union commends President Martelly for agreeing to considerable sacrifices in order to promote a consensus on emerging from the crisis, and calls on all political actors to commit to a peaceful and responsible electoral process. The European Union will give that process substantial support. To that end, in addition to a â‚¬5 million contribution to the electoral fund managed by the United Nations Development Programme, we may consider sending an election observation mission, or at the very least a group of electoral experts, as for the 2011 elections. Furthermore, besides the regular high-level political dialogue with the Haitian Government, the European Union is continuing discussions and advisory work with the Club of Madrid aimed at a huge number ofinstitutional and civil-society stakeholders.”

“In that regard, in coordination with the other members of the core group, in the past few months the European Union has kept up its contacts with various institutional stakeholders in order to encourage dialogue and reach the necessary commitments to ensure the holding of presidential, legislative and local elections, which must be transparent, credible and inclusive. Despite the fact that the new electoral law could not be enacted by 12 January, and that as a result the Senate and hence the entire legislature were rendered dysfunctional, an agreement was reached with part of the opposition on creating a new Government and establishing a new provisional Electoral Council. The Electoral Council has outlined an electoral calendar and we have hopes that the electoral process will begin soon.”

“The European Commission is in the process of ensuring that resilience is integrated into all of its programmes in order to maintain the links between humanitarian aid and development. A joint humanitarian development framework is currently being developed. In that context, the European Union remains open to maintaining a dialogue with the relevant United Nations agencies so as to study specific possibilities for cooperation. Haiti cannot afford another major political and security crisis and must ensure that the progress it has made cannot be reversed.”

“In 2014, the European Union and the Government of Haiti signed an agreement on a â‚¬120 million project in support of State reform, designed to increase the State's budgetary capacity in promoting tax reform, as well as to improve the management of public finances, support the implementation of a national policy for primary education and strengthen governance. That contributes fundamentally to the healthy functioning of the Haitian State, and thus to the country's stability. Beyond that, several areas in need of intervention that are covered by the European Union's programme for 2014 to 2020, such as urban planning, education and support for State administrative reform, can help to contribute to the United Nations plan for eradicating cholera.”

“In that regard, the European Union is providing full support to the Haiti Transitional Appeal for 2015-2016, recently launched by the Haitian authorities and the United Nations, a strategy with resilience at its centre. The European Union has also begun developing a strategy for resilience in Haiti designed to support the Government's efforts. With regard to development aid and cooperation, the European Union and the Government of Haiti have signed a planning agreement for the period 2014 to 2020 with a budget of â‚¬420 million, since the funds made available during the previous planning period have been fully allocated. This attests to the European Union's continuing commitment to supporting the Government's development and socioeconomic recovery strategy for the country.”

“It is therefore essential that the Government of Haiti continue its efforts to ensure that they have acceptable living conditions and that their basic human rights are respected. Considering those persistent needs, the European Union and its member States are firmly committed to continuing their humanitarian assistance to Haiti. To give one example, this year the European Union decided to continue its humanitarian response in Haiti with an â‚¬11.6 million programme designed to respond to the needs of the displaced, contain the cholera epidemic and provide sustainable assistance to rural populations suffering from food insecurity. In addition, we will contribute to improving natural-disaster preparedness. It is also important to strengthen people's resilience.”

“The country has committed itself to seeking stability and building on democratic achievements, which will be crucial to its future in the short and long terms. Ongoing serious socioeconomic inequalities are a genuine threat to the stability and security of the country. The European Union, which was a loyal partner of Haiti even before the disaster of 2010 and has been even more so since, is determined to act in harmony with the country's other partners to support it in this very sensitive phase. The European Union welcomes the continuing decrease in the number of displaced people living in camps more than five years after the earthquake. However, nearly 80,000 people are still dealing with deplorable living conditions and are more vulnerable than ever.”

“It is my honour to speak on behalf of the European Union and its member States. I would like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2015/157), and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for her briefing. I also wish to thank my colleague the Permanent Representative of Haiti for his statement. The candidate countries Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania; the countries of the Stabilization and Association Process and potential candidate Bosnia and Herzegovina; and the Republic of Moldova and Armenia align themselves with this statement. In spite of the significant efforts made after the earthquake of 2010 and the undeniable progress accomplished since then, Haiti continues to face formidable socioeconomic and development challenges.”
