  1. “Spain is therefore prepared to participate in the new mechanism, the objective of which is to increase the effectiveness and transparency of assistance, reduce overlaps and make it possible for Haitian authorities to take greater ownership of the process. We hope that the mechanism, along with the progress made towards a more stable political environment, will make it possible to increase disbursements of development assistance. Finally, I wish to thank Ambassador Fernandez Amunategui for the work he has done.”

  2. “The objective is for the police to gradually take over its responsibilities for public order, and for Haiti to take over the responsibility for its own security. In the meantime, Spain believes that the work of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti' continues to be essential. We therefore support the recommendation to renew its mandate. Finally, Iwish to addmy voice to those who welcomed the new aid coordination mechanism presented by Prime Minister Lamothe on 26 September here in New York during the ministerial meeting held under the slogan "Haiti Partners". The motto for Spanish cooperation in Haiti has always been "Everything for Haiti, but with Haiti".”

  3. “We are pleased with the progress that has taken place in the Haitian political situation since the previous debate in the Chamber, in March (see S/PV.6732). Signs of stability after the appointment of the new Prime Minister, Mr. Laurent Salvador Lamothe, and the formation of the bodies provided for in the 1987 Constitution are very good news. It is our hope that the Haitian Government will also be able to make progress in constituting the Permanent Electoral Council, such that in the electoral processes to be held in 2013, the Council will be able to take over the functions assigned to it by the Constitution. On the matter of security, Spain reiterates its commitment to strengthening the Haitian National Police.”

  4. “Mariano Rajoy Brey, proposed to President Michel Joseph Martelly, here in New York last week, that Spain would facilitate deploying to Haiti a mission of Spanish businesspeople to explore new forms of cooperation with the private sector. Spain has also participated in the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission and the Haiti Reconstruction Fund, donating$20 million to the latter. Following the end of the Commission's mandate, in October 2011, Spain has supported the Haitian Government's proposal to designate the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation as the counterpart of the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. We believe that is the best way of directly encouraging ownership and capacity-building in the Haitian administration.”

  5. “That amount was devoted, as a priority among other commitments and in agreement with the Government of Haiti, to projects in the water and sanitation, education, rural development and food production sectors, as well as in the fight against hunger, of course. I wish to highlight Spain's contribution to the cooperation fund for water and sanitation, with a total investment of more than $150 million, which will potentially benefit 6.5 million citizens, or 70 per cent of the country's population. In the business sector, working with the Inter-American Development Bank, Spain in finalizing the implementation ofa specific fund for promoting small - and medium-sized businesses. In addition, the President of the Government of Spain, Mr.”

  6. “Mr.Arias (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): It is a true honour for me to have the opportunity to participate in this meeting of the Security Council, presided over by Guatemala for the first time in history. I would like to associate myself with the statement made by the Head of the Delegation of the European Union, and I wish to add the following considerations on behalf of my delegation. Spain continues to be firmly committed to supporting the effort of the Government and the people of Haiti in the work of rebuilding the country following the 2010 earthquake. That is demonstrated by the fact that Spain is the third largest bilateral donor to Haiti. To date, we have disbursed $225 million, 65 per cent of the $346 million committed at the New York Haiti Donors' Conference of 2010.”
