'Without funds we can't survive'
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
HELSINKI, Finland


Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday appealed to the 
European Union to resume aid payments to the Palestinian Authority, calling it 
a question of survival. He also said he will approach Israeli leaders with an 
offer to revive peace talks after they form a new government and called on the 
European Union to resume aid to the Palestinian Authority. 

"I think after the establishment of the Israeli government, we will make an 
initiative to the Israelis to return back to the negotiating table," Abbas told 
reporters in Helsinki. "We hope that they will be positive." 
Abbas told reporters in the Finnish capital that he hoped the EU would 
"continue their aid, ... continue their funds to our people." 

"Without funds, I don't think that we can survive," Abbas said after meeting 
Finnish President Tarja Halonen. 
Earlier this month, the EU cut off direct aid payments to the Hamas-led 
Palestinian government because of the militant group's refusal to renounce 
violence and recognize Israel. But, the EU said, it will continue to fund 
health care, education and other humanitarian projects through international 
organizations and non-governmental groups. 

Abbas, who arrived in Helsinki late Wednesday, held talks with Foreign Minister 
Erkki Tuomioja and was to meet lawmakers before flying to France for talks on 
how the international community could resume aid to the Palestinians. 

A news conference scheduled after his meetings in the Finnish capital was 
canceled, Foreign Ministry officials said, but added that the Palestinians gave 
no reason for the cancellation. 
During a visit to the Norwegian capital on Wednesday, Abbas proposed an 
international conference to open long-stalled peace talks with Israel, and said 
the election of a Hamas government, sworn to Israel's destruction, was no 
obstacle. Post comment | Terms
