The European Commission on 2 December 2004 adopted a strategy to fight anti-personnel landmines worldwide, supported by a budget of €140 million. The strategy, which is planned to run from 2005-7, aims to reduce the anti-personnel landmine threat; to alleviate mine victim suffering and aid socio-economic reintegration; and to enhance local and regional mine action capacity. The adoption of the strategy coincided with the First Review Conference of the Mine Ban Treaty in Nairobi (29 November - 3 December), where the External Relations Commissioner was to address the participants by video, and with the International Day of Disabled Persons (3 December). |
