lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank Mr Bowis for his report. There are a lot of positive things to say about ACP cooperation and Mr Bowis’s work on strengthening the ACP-EU Assembly. Given the concern felt by our colleagues in the ACP countries about budgetisation, I think it important for the role of the ACP-EU Assembly to be strengthened in those countries. If it is acceptable to yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to propose a slight change to paragraph 11 in order further to strengthen the wording. The inclusion of the European Development Fund in the EU budget ‘should be accompanied by a reinforcement’ of the Joint Parliamentary Assembly’s role, instead of ‘should enable … to be reinforced’, the former being clearer. In that way, we shall be expressing a clear desire to ensure that our friends from the South also have influence. The low turnout at the committee meetings in Brussels is a major problem. The last time, there were only a few of us from the EU, which was a disappointment to our guests. A representative from Africa summarised the reaction: in Africa, it is regarded as impolite to invite guests through the one door and, at the same time, leave through the other oneself. This situation damages our relations with other countries, for, as matters stand, we are forced to choose between votes on legislation and cooperation with other countries. I would therefore ask the Conference of Presidents to review its decision and allow us to hold ACP meetings some time during the weeks in which the political groups meet, since no votes on legislation are held then and we can decide, internally in the groups, on our agendas."@en1
