lpv:translated text	". I voted for this report by Mrs Carlotti on the implementation of the programming of the 10th European Development Fund (EDF). The EDF is the main Community instrument for development cooperation aid to the ACP (Africa, Caribbean, Pacific) countries. It works in particular on achievement of the Millennium Goals set in the United Nations in 2000. However, the 10th EDF (2008-2013) has at the moment come to a standstill. Since the revised Cotonou Agreement has not been ratified by some of the ACP countries, the EUR 22.7 million budget available since 1 January 2008 is still not being used. The text adopted by Parliament therefore calls urgently for an end to the deadlock and outlines a number of issues: priority for the reduction of poverty (and health and education in particular), specific attention to the gender dimension and a sustainable development strategy for the countries concerned. Finally, Parliament would like to see the EDF incorporated in the general budget of the Union, in order to make European policies more coherent and improve democratic scrutiny of its management."@en1
