“Furthermore, the European Commission recently pledged â‚¬100 million for a humanitarian and initial recovery package. We are confident that other partners will continue their strong support for the Darfur peace process as well. We must insist that all parties involved live up to their commitments contained in the Darfur peace agreement. The tragic events yesterday in the camp for internally displaced persons at Kalma are just another reminder of how dire the situation bas become, and that the humanitarian and security situation needs to be urgently improved. After the terrible years of war and violence, we have a responsibility towards the people of Darfur: to give them hope and to make peace in Darfur a reality.”

“Chief among those is the dispatch of a joint United Nations-AU assessment mission to the Darfur region, in order to enable United Nations planners to get a clear picture of planning needs. In that respect, we look forward to the Secretary-General's detailed planning proposals for a United Nations operation in Darfur, and we encourage him to hold early consultations with potential troop-contributing countries for such an operation. The European Union's support for the African Union will not waver over the coming months. We have recently decided to contribute another â‚¬50 million from the African Peace Facility to AMIS, in addition to the â‚¬l62 million already provided. We are also ready to continue to provide technical and logistical support to AMIS.”

“Thirdly, there is an urgent need to strengthen the African Union Mission in the Sudan (AMIS) in order to enable it to fully carry out the critical role assigned to it in the implementation of the Darfur peace agreement until such time as a United Nations force can take over those functions. We fully support the convening at an early date by the Secretary-General and the AU of a pledging conference to support the strengthened AMIS. Fourthly, the European Union believes that the agreement reached at Abuja opens the way for the establishment of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Darfur. It is imperative that the necessary preparatory steps now be undertaken without delay.”

“The leaders of those movements have a historic responsibility to contribute to securing peace in Darfur. In the longer term, we also look forward to the possible contribution of the planned all-inclusive Darfur-Darfur dialogue in that respect. Secondly, as Mr. Minawi said at the signing ceremony at Abuja last Friday, the goal of the Darfur peace agreement is to establish peace on the ground, not just on paper. The European Union reminds all parties to the conflict of their responsibility to implement all provisions of the Darfur peace agreement in good faith and in full. In that context, I would like to reiterate the EU's support for making full use of the measures set out in resolution 1591 (2005) against those who are impeding the peace process.”

“We expressed appreciation to the African Union and the Nigerian facilitation for their efforts, as well as to the international community for the support it provided to the African Union throughout the negotiation process. I would like to focus on four aspects that the European Union regards as crucial in connection with the Darfur peace agreement that were broadly shared during our talks in Vienna yesterday by the African ministerial troika. First, it is of the utmost importance for all parties to the conflict to subscribe to the Darfur peace agreement. We strongly urge the Justice and Equality Movement and the Sudan Liberation Army/Movement faction led by Mr. Abdul Wahid to sign the agreement before the deadline of the next meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council, which is currently expected to be held on 15 May.”

“I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU). The signing of the Darfur peace agreement, last Friday, represents a major step forward for Darfur, for the Sudan and for the entire African continent. Throughout the process, the European Union fully supported the efforts of the African Union (EU). At the sixth EU-Africa ministerial troika meeting, held yesterday in Vienna, we agreed on a joint final communique. We acknowledged that the Darfur peace agreement paves the way for the rapid improvement of the humanitarian and security situation on the ground, including the protection of the civilian population, the unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance and the restoration of lasting peace and reconciliation in the region.”
