"The Security Compound in Jenin will contribute importantly to the rule of law and security of the people.

I would like to pay tribute to Prime Minister Fayyad for his amazing work to build the institutions of a state," <\/i>said Catherine Ashton at the stone laying ceremony for the construction of the Security Compound, which the European Union is cofinancing with 9.24 million euro as part of the wider contribution to security sector reform of the Palestinian Authority.<\/p><\/div>\n
