Member of the European Parliament from Germany Gunnar Beck asked the principles of allocating financial assistance to Afghanistan by the European Union. According to Russia Today, the corresponding request was sent to the European Commission.
In the document, Beck mentioned that during the conference on Afghanistan in 2020, the EU promised to allocate 1.2 billion euros as a helping country. At the same time, the provision of financial support will depend on such factors as the protection of democracy, human rights and social progress in this country. He also recalled that EU was previously decided to increase the amount of funds intended to assist in need of residents of Afghanistan and refugees.
In connection with this, the European Parliamentary raised the question of how the new Afghan regime was assessed in the European Commission indicated above the principles. Beck asked whether the constantly growing budget was fully emitted to help Afghanistan, the expenses for granting asylum by Afghan refugees.
