"−
The primary objective of EU aid must be the reduction and eradication of poverty.
Important for this policy is an approach to governance which puts an emphasis on human rights, democracy and the rule of law, on fighting corruption and on the role of parliaments and civil society in holding governments accountable and in assessing development results.
Growth is an important driver of development. It should be environmentally sustainable, respect biodiversity and prevent the worrying degradation of fertile land. The EU should therefore promote agro-ecological and low-external-input practices. We also support the importance of the build-up of social security systems and fair tax systems as well as promotion of the decent work agenda of the International Labour Oranisation (ILO).
Finally, we believe that access to social services, in particular to health and education, must remain a cornerstone of EU aid. Therefore, a modern European development policy needs the understanding and involvement of European citizens, which will require continued efforts on development education and awareness raising, based on values of human rights, democracy, tolerance, social responsibility and gender equality."@en1
