"Europe is committed to promoting human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law and to encouraging sustainable progress in developing countries.
I welcome what the report says on encouraging economic growth, supporting small businesses and addressing income inequality in developing countries. It must be ensured that growth is not biased and EU policies must benefit the poorest in the world. The microcredit, microfinance and other similar schemes are important tools for this purpose. Strong property rights must be established, and the illegal seizure of land and speculation in feedingstuffs eliminated in order to strengthen the ability of local resources to ensure the safety of the food supply.
The fundamental principles of EU development policy form the cornerstone of the Union. Human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law must be at the heart of those political reforms that are intertwined with comprehensive, sustainable development, if the goals of EU development policy are to be reached."@en1
