- EU aid is currently going towards supporting
00:33
the coast guards, despite their extremely poor
00:36
human rights track record.
00:39
For example, in Libya, the coast guard,
00:41
only again a few months ago,
00:43
was documented in firing shots at rescue ships
00:46
attempting to help people in distress at sea.

- Most of our actions are actually helping
00:59
to address the root causes of migration.
01:01

01:02
sustainable development in our partner countries.

- We need the EU to ensure that every cent of EU aid
01:24

01:29
and boosting partner countries' economies.

01:40
in how the EU is allocating and governing
01:44
these public funds.
