answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>The EU Trust Fund will become established following formal signature of a peace agreement between the Government of Colombia and the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). Civil society can play a key role in successful implementation of a Colombian peace deal. In discussions with the EU institutions, the UK has repeatedly encouraged inclusion of civil society organisations in the EU Trust Fund draft strategy, and continues to promote civil society involvement in delivering the Trust Fund priorities once the fund is operational. Through meetings in Bogota, the EU has set in place a consultation mechanism for civil society organisations. The first formal consultation with NGOs took place on 28 June.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 14/07/2016 15:55:01 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

Talks continue in Havana and both sides are working to meet the 23 March deadline. However, the priority is reaching a sustainable agreement, not the exact date. Our Embassy in Bogota reported that, on 9 March, President Santos spoke about progress made in the peace process. He emphasised that the importance was signing an acceptable agreement, stating “I am not going to sign a bad agreement just for the sake of meeting a deadline”. I congratulate both parties on the agreements reached thus far. I understand that two negotiating points are still under discussion: the implementation of the peace deal and end of conflict issues.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 14/03/2016 14:13:08 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede
