EU aid budget

Why does the European Union feel it necessary to give the Palestinian Authority $606m of aid each year?

How does the European Union ensure this aid is well spent when there are numerous allegations of corruption ?

  1. It is well spent, it has managed to buy all of Arafats cronies swimming pools, mercedes and massive bank accounts which are under investigation. It has not yet built one hospital. nor a kiddy playground but it has built the odd school , schools which teach terror and the eradication of Israel of course.The E.U cowards have to appease islam for oil and trade and because they know it is a threat in the long term.

  2. before we rush down the euroweenie route its worth noting that the US are the second biggest donators. Greed & the struggle for oil is by far the greatest reason for perceived appeasement overall by ALL western governments. Dont get me wrong - im not some flailing arm SW who thinks oil is just some black gloop - but i do think its fair to point out that the EU is not the only bunch propping up the likes of Hamas.

  3. Alison, when did the EU become a Government?

    I don't recall anyone ever saying that one of the benefits of EU membership is supporting the Palestinian Authority!
