"Madam President, I welcome Mr Corrie’s report as a balanced assessment of the work the Assembly has carried out over the last year.
The report comes just after agreement has been reached on the renewal of the existing Lomé Convention, which expires at the end of this month. The new agreement provides for a development budget of EUR 13.5 billion over the next seven years. It is vital that this money is used to benefit the poorest groups and individuals within the ACP countries. Strenuous efforts must be made to root out corruption and waste. Civil society must be involved in the planning and implementation of these projects.
The decision to include a clause obliging ACP countries to take back illegal immigrants entering Europe is worrying and will have to be implemented with extreme sensitivity. I hope that before the end of this new Lomé Convention we will be able to welcome Cuba as a full member."@en1
