lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I believe that ‘The European Consensus on Development’, the joint statement by the Council, Parliament and the Commission on the European Union’s development policy, is a key document, above all because of the goals it is intended to further. This aim of this tripartite statement, which sets out a common vision for the European Union’s development cooperation, is to help achieve greater cohesion, coordination, complementarity, quality and effectiveness. One might well say that it will be impossible for our vision of development cooperation to become reality unless these goals are achieved. Over the 40 years that development aid has been provided to Africa, the situation on this continent has got worse rather than better. We must do something to reverse this trend, and this report and the motion for a resolution are an attempt to bring about such a change. Our resolution covers many key issues, and I should merely like to draw the House’s attention to a few of them. One example is the weight attached to the role of national parliaments in implementing development cooperation. This applies not only to aid recipient countries, but also to certain EU Member States. On a related note, the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly will adopt its report on the role of parliaments in implementing the Cotonou Agreement next week. I would be absolutely delighted if the parliament of my own country, the Polish Sejm, were to devote more attention to development issues. This is all the more necessary because it will be hard for us to earmark 0.7% of GNI for development aid in future unless national parliaments show commitment and understanding. Another crucial feature of this resolution is that it highlights the key importance of education. It is a simple fact that development will be impossible without access to education, and without gender equality in the field of education, though of course not only in this field. The report also deserves our praise because it stresses the need to improve the quality and the level of coordination between the Commission and the Member States. I should like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent report."@en1
