EU Disagrees Over How to Fund PA
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Differences of opinion have emerged in Europe over the parameters of the "funding mechanism" the European Commission has been asked to develop to transfer funds to the PA, European officials said Wednesday. Disagreements revolve around whether the funds should be limited to emergency uses, or whether they should be channeled to support PA health and educational systems. Deputy U.S. Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Scott Carpenter said neither Washington nor the EU were interested in paying salaries of tens of thousands of Palestinian government workers.
