"The Goerens report, which I voted in favour of today, addresses issues relating to the impact of budget support, the coherence of eligibility criteria and accompanying measures aimed at strengthening political dialogue between the European Union and developing countries.
On the basis of an assessment of general budget support carried out in seven developing countries, the report highlights the fact that budget support can be an effective way of facilitating strategies of developing countries for eliminating poverty while strengthening the ownership and accountability of their governments, particularly in the field of public finance management.
However, the report also stresses that there is a need to strengthen the Commission’s mechanisms for monitoring recipient countries. It is therefore important to involve parliaments and civil society to a greater extent in the dialogue on anti-poverty policies and in annual reviews of budget support. Finally, I took the opportunity to highlight once again the clear need for policy coherence for development and to reiterate my wish that the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) focus on promoting democracy and human rights, which are key conditions for sustainable development."@en1
