Annual Conference of the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Partners 2010 9 Funding Humanitarian Aid The future budgets (3) Both the Humanitarian policy and the Civil Protection activities well recognised by the Budget Review communication of 19 October 2101 as being part of "Global Europe". The recognition extends to the importance of improving the EU's ability to respond to large scale conflicts and disasters and to rebuild for crisis situations and to develop more resilience to the future. Greater use of EU solidarity is emphasised to respond to major natural disasters within the Member States and enable civil protection teams to work support work outside the EU.
