mt	Filwaqt li l-Covid-19 ikompli jevolvi fl-Afrika (issa jinsab fil-pajjiżi kollha ħlief għal tnejn), aħna staqsejna lill-President tal-Kumitat tal-Parlament għall-Iżvilupp, Tomas Tobé (PPE, SE) dwar ir-rispons tal-UE.

en	On 8 April the EU launched Team Europe , a package of more than €20 billion to help the most vulnerable countries, in particular in Africa and the EU's neighbourhood, in the fight against the pandemic and its consequences.
mt	Fit-8 ta' April, l-UE varat " Tim Ewropa ", pakkett ta' aktar minn €20 biljun f'għajnuna lill-pajjiżi l-aktar vulnerabbli b'mod partikolari fl-Afrika u fil-viċinat tal-UE fil-ġlieda kontra l-pandemija u l-konsegwenzi tagħha.

en	There is very probably underreporting of cases in many countries in Africa, that is why we have to act very quickly.
mt	Aktarx hemm nuqqas ta' rappurtar fin-numru ta' każijiet fl-Afrika, huwa għalhekk li għandna naġixxu malajr ħafna.

en	Is it still relevant in the context of the corona crisis?
mt	Din għadha rilevanti fil-kuntest tal-kriżi corona?

en	Coronavirus in Africa could be devastating, which is why Europe's response should go beyond our borders, said development committee chair Tomas Tobé.
mt	Il-coronavirus fl-Afrika jista' jkun devastanti; ir-rispons tal-Ewropa għandu jmur lil hinn mill-fruntieri tagħna, qal il-President tal-Kumitat għall-Iżvilupp Tomas Tobé.

en	In a resolution from 17 April Parliament underlined the need for international cooperation and solidarity and a strengthening of the UN system, and the Wolrd Health Organization in particular.
mt	F'riżoluzzjoni tas-17 ta' April , il-Parlament issottolinja l-bżonn għall-kooperazzjoni u s-solidarjetà internazzjonali u t-tisħiħ tas-sistema tan-NU, u b'mod partikolari d-WHO.

en	MEPs have also joined calls from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to suspend debt payments by the world's developing countries.
mt	Il-Membri tal-PE ngħaqdu wkoll mal-appelli mill-Fond Monetarju Internazzjonali (FMI) u l-Bank Dinji biex jiġu sospiżi l-pagamenti tad-dejn tal-pajjiżi li qed jiżviluppaw fid-dinja.

en	Up to €100 billion will be available to all 27 member states.
mt	Sa €100 biljun se jkunu disponibbli għas-27 Stat Membru kollha.

en	Welcoming the creation of Sure and calling on EU countries to implement it quickly, Slovak ECR member Lucia Ďuriš Nicholsonová , chair of Parliament's employment committee, said: "It is an important expression of EU solidarity and a helpful instrument to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the Covid-19 crisis.
mt	Hija u tilqa' t-twaqqif ta' SURE u tistieden lill-Istati Membri jimplimentawh malajr, Lucia Ďuriš Nicholsonová (ECR, Slovakkja), President tal-Kumitat tal-Impjiegi qalet:

mt	€100 biljun biex in-nies jinżammu f'impjiegi

en	While Sure is a temporary instrument designed specifically to tackle the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the European Commission is also working on a new proposal for a European Unemployment Reinsurance Scheme to support employment and protect workers who lose their jobs due to economic shocks.
mt	Filwaqt li SURE huwa strument temporanju mfassal speċifikament biex jindirizza l-konsegwenzi tal-pandemija tal-coronavirus, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea qed taħdem ukoll fuq proposta ġdida għal Skema Ewropea ta' Riassigurazzjoni tal-Qgħad biex tappoġġja l-impjiegi u tipproteġi lill-ħaddiema li jitilfu l-impjieg tagħhom minħabba xokkijiet ekonomiċi.
