"The European Union is the world’s biggest donor of development aid. We provide more than 50% of total global aid, thus providing an example for other regions and countries to emulate. Development cooperation represents a very important part of EU external relations. It is the most important instrument reducing poverty in developing countries, and developing the economies of the poorest nations, as well as social policies, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. If it is implemented even more effectively, development aid offers hope that we may overcome the division of the world into ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ countries. I voted in favour of this recommendation, because I am in favour of the call for the European Commission to prepare a compromise proposal, on how to include the European Parliament in the control of the Instrument for Development Cooperation following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. The European Parliament should acquire the same powers as the European Council in deciding when, where and how much of the instrument should be used."@en1
