Statement by President Barroso and President Van Rompuy in the name of the European Union on the situation in Gaza2014-08-04, 08:59Gaza has been suffering from intolerable violence for more than three weeks already. We deplore the terrible loss of lives, including innocent women and children. Many have been injured, property and livelihoods have been destroyed. This needs to stop immediately. We strongly condemn continued rocket fire over Israel. EU increases humanitarian funding to help the victims of worsening crisis in Somalia2014-08-02, 15:55The European Commission is giving an additional €10 million for Somalia in response to the increasing humanitarian needs there. This will help respond to the serious food and nutrition crisis that Somalis are currently facing, and will provide basic healthcare and nutrition services, access to food, water, sanitation, as well as shelter and household items for the most vulnerable people. The Council has adopted further EU restrictive measures targeting sectoral cooperation and exchanges with the Russian Federation. This decision gives legal value to the agreements reached at the Council's Committee of Permanent Representatives on 29 July. We, the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission, join in expressing our grave concern about Russia's continued actions to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence. We once again condemn Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, and actions to de-stabilise eastern Ukraine. Those actions are unacceptable and violate international law. The European Union agreed Tuesday to impose broad economic sanctions against Russia, hoping to force Moscow to reverse course in Ukraine. Exactly 100 years ago Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, triggering a conflict that would soon spread throughout Europe and the world and become known as the Great War. "Remembering this lesson is the best way to honour those who fought and died", EP president Martin Schulz said ahead of the sad anniversary. President Barroso made the following statement: "Having been mandated to prepare a package of restrictive measures in the light of Russia's role in destabilising and escalating the situation in Ukraine, the European Commission tabled today a legislative proposal building on the package of targeted measures presented to Member States by the Commission and the EEAS earlier this week.
