The Commission was one of the first international donors to react to the emerging crisis in March and, by means of various instruments, contributed over EUR 414 million in direct aid to the countries and medical research, bringing the total EU contribution to EUR 1.2 billion in 2014.
Komisjon oli üks esimesi rahvusvahelisi abiandjaid, kes tekkivale kriisiolukorrale märtsis reageeris, eraldades riikidele ja meditsiinilistele uuringutele erinevate vahendite kaudu otsest abi enam kui 414 miljoni eurot.
