“For its part, the European Union intends to pursue a process of consideration and consultation with the Club of Madrid aimed at a vast number of institutional and civil society actors. In conclusion, allow me to express the appreciation of the European Union for MINUSTAH's important contribution, 10 years on, to stabilizing the security situation and consolidating democracy and the rule of law in Haiti. The European Union remains determined to support the Haitian authorities, the United Nations and the international community in order to ensure a better future for all of Haiti's people.”

“Within the context of an overall improvement in the security situation, we also note a 30 per cent rise in demonstrations with a socioeconomic cast and a two-fold increase in the number of demonstrations accompanied by Violence, while the number of demonstrations of a political nature has remained stable. That leads to the conclusion that, rather than a polarization of the political sphere, there continue to be grave social and economic inequalities that represent a real threat to Haiti's stability and security. In that regard, the European Union would like to stress the importance of continuing to work with determination on the root causes that underlie those inequalities.”

“The European Union also welcomes the significant drop in the number of cholera cases recorded between 2013 and 2014, as noted in the Secretary-General's report. A number of sectors covered by European assistance for the period 2014 to 2020, such as urban renewal, education and support for structural reforms to State administration, could well contribute to the United Nations plan for the eradication of cholera. The European Union remains ready to explore concrete possibilities for cooperation with the relevant United Nations agencies. We take note of the Secretary-General's recommendations envisaging a substantial reduction in the military component of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) by 2015, with an additional decrease following the presidential elections.”

“The European Union welcomes the continuing decrease in the number of displaced persons still living in camps. Still, such families continue to live in deplorable conditions. It is therefore crucial for the Government of Haiti to redouble its efforts to ensure adequate living conditions and the fundamental rights of those affected. Cognizant of the persistent needs, the European Union plans to continue its humanitarian commitment in 2015. The European Union has just signed a planning instrument with the Government of Haiti for the period 2014 to 2020, with an allocation of â‚¬420 million. That demonstrates the European Union's continued commitment to supporting the Government in its strategy for the country's development and socioeconomic recovery.”

“The European Union believes that respect for the time frame provided for by the Constitution and the need to ensure the functioning of democratic institutions should be a goal shared by all the political forces in Haiti. Given the real risk of a legislative and judicial vacuum from January 2015, the European Union calls for a permanent solution to ensure the continuity of the legislative mechanisms that would enjoy the broadest possible consensus among the relevant political and institutional actors. The dispatch of an election observer mission to Haiti is not planned. However, in addition to the contribution of â‚¬5 million to the electoral fund managed by the United Nations Development Programme, the European Union could consider sending an electoral expert group, as was done during the 2011 elections.”

“The strengthening ofdemocratic gains is essential to ensuring stability andto meetingthe huge socioeconomic and development challenges facing the vast majority of the Haitian society. The European Union is determined to act in line with the other partners to ensure that that progress remains irreversible. For the past few months, the European Union has pursued its contacts with the various institutional actors to promote dialogue and to find the necessary compromises to meet the electoral timeline that was determioned by the decree signed by President Martelly on 14 July. It is therefore with regret and concern that we see continuing difficulties in the implementation of the El Rancho Accord. That impasse makes it unlikely that the elections can take place before the end of the year on the basis ofa revised electoral law.”
