  6. EU Civil Protection Mechanism • Evacuation of 24.000 third party nationals • Assistance to the people fleeing Libya • Emergency healthcare for war wounded • Protection of the civilian population • Logistical solutions including air transportation to deliver relief aid • Clearance of unexploded mines and booby traps from the war zones

  7. RevisedNeighborhood Policy • Partnership for Democracy and Shared Prosperity with the Southern Mediterranean March 8, 2011 • Proposed Partnership in : • democratic transformation and institution building • support to civil society • boost for economic growth

  8. RevisedNeighborhood Policy • A new and ambitious European Neighborhood Policy - May 25, 2011 • ‘more funds for more reform’ approach • "Our support is based on partnership, not on imposition" - HRVP Catherine Ashton.

  9. Criticism • Institutional Shortcomings • Still no clear voice when it comes to key foreign policy matters • Slow and ineffective response, bloated bureaucracy • Lack of transparency (too many partner organizations) • Shortcomings in the ENP • Libya operations: ramification and repercussion • Lack of concern for specifically Libya in the ENP

  10. Criticism • Operational Shortcomings • The EU is involved in too many external aidprograms with too few positive results • High donations with little conditionality applied

  11. Recommendations Libya is another inter-institutional test of flexibility within the EU, thus we recommend: • Introduction of a log frame for better monitoring and evaluation • Formation of a stable humanitarian force (rapid response teams) • Humanitarian aid linked to verifiable improvements

  12. Recommendations • Simplification of the EU budget after 2013 which provides „emergency and recovery funds” • Reform of the European Neighborhood Policy • Hot spot scenarios and early warning system
