The Committee on Development is working on an own-initiative report on the new orientations for the EU's humanitarian action, aimed to be the European Parliament response to the European Commission Communication on "The EU's humanitarian action: new challenges, same principles".
This Communication was published in March 2021 and presents the actions through which the EU could strengthen its response.

The rapporteur of the DEVE report, Norbert Neuser (S&D, DE), presented his draft on 27 September 2021, in which he supports the actions set out in the Commission Communication. Among its central messages, the draft report calls on Member States to increase humanitarian funding and on the EU and Member States to increase the effectiveness of humanitarian assistance and to establish a clear monitoring mechanism for violations of international humanitarian law.

Members of the DEVE Committee have until 6 October to table amendments to this draft report.

The vote is scheduled to take place before the end of 2021, in order for the report to contribute to Parliament's position ahead of the first European Humanitarian Forum, which will take place in Brussels in January 2022.

On Tuesday 5th October, Members of the European Parliament will debate in plenary the AFET/DEVE/BUDG joint implementation report that seeks to make a political evaluation of the EU Trust Funds (EUTFs) established since 2014 and extended until December 2021, as well as the Facility for Refugees in Turkey (FRT).
Parliament has acknowledged the value-added of these extra-budgetary (EUTFs) and extraordinary (FRT) tools but has also voiced criticism for a lack of democratic accountability in their operations/disbursement. The report assesses the EUTFs/FRT implementation and make proposals for the way forward under the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF - EU's long term budget).

The rapporteurs for the file are György Hölvényi (EPP, HU), Janusz Lewandowski (EPP, PL) and Milan Zver (EPP, SI).
