About the European Commission: The European Commission is the executive arm of the European Union. Since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in October 1991, the Commission has granted more than 350 million Euro in aid to Cambodia. This aid is additional to that granted bilaterally by individual EU Member States, and covers a broad range of sectors, such as humanitarian assistance, health, education, rural development, human resource development, the environment, mine clearance, democratisation and human rights.

The fundamental objective of EU development co-operation policy is to foster sustainable development designed to eradicate poverty in developing countries and to integrate them into the world economy. This can only be achieved by pursuing policies that promote the consolidation of democracy, the rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights.
