There is a need to ensure the proper and transparent use of funds channelled by the EU into budgetary support for developing countries, but whilst respecting their sovereignty.
We should not at any time confuse technical issues – these must be part of the necessary inspections and audits, which should preferably be carried out by the developing countries themselves too, with technical cooperation and training – with political choices and evaluations. The choices of developing countries should be respected, without explicit or veiled impositions.
The report is contradictory in this respect.
On the one hand, it states that budgetary support should not be used to serve the EU’s own economic and strategic interests, with which we wholeheartedly agree. On the other hand, it shamelessly expresses the view that the EU should be aware of the added value generated by its huge political weight and the potentially broad scope of its action, ensuring political influence proportional to the financial support given. It also states that one of the EU’s objectives is to encourage a social market economy, and that this principle also applies to development policy. These are
some of the most negative aspects of the report."@en1
