§ Mr. ParryTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aid was given by the EC to Peru over the past three years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydCommitments of Community aid to Peru were as follows: 1990, 31 mecu (£22 million); 1991, 36 mecu (£25 million); 1992, 49..5 mecu (£36 million). This included funding for rural development projects, 11W emergency aid, food aid, co-financing with non-governmental organisations and assistance with drugs control.
New Community initiatives, with the exception of increased humanitarian assistance and support for NGOs, were suspended following the coup last April. In the light of recent progress towards restoration of democracy in Peru, the position is being kept under close review.
