lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Parliament should support the process of decentralising the Commission services so as to bring the European Union closer to its partners. We are therefore in favour of increasing the number of delegations and increasing their staff numbers in line with their increased responsibilities. However, cooperation on development should remain the priority of the delegations in developing countries, in particular as regards the planning of aid programmes. It is important that the representatives who negotiate on behalf of the Commission should be on the spot and in direct contact with the real situation. In order to do this they should develop relations with the local NGOs and with society in general, so that they can get to know and integrate the priority needs of communities, and not only those of governments in these indicative programmes. In addition to consultation, we must also increase the number of local agents in the delegations. It is vitally important that the delegation staff should have an extremely good knowledge of local conditions and should be able to speak regional languages, so as to maintain a permanent link with the various levels of the local community. In addition, the delegations must propose special training programmes for local experts so as to encourage their recruitment. Finally, it is urgently necessary to recruit staff who are qualified in social and environmental matters, which have so far been the poor relations of the aid and development programmes drawn up in Brussels."@en1
