"This future meeting is much more than just a forum on aid. The key challenge will be to turn the logic behind development policy on its head: democratic ownership is a key principle to be upheld so as to breathe life into the local development of poor countries. This resolution successfully underlines the importance of the principle of democratic ownership, of the principle of non-fragmentation of aid, of the need to prioritise local and regional public procurement, and of integrating cross-cutting issues, such as gender equality, social inclusion and climate change.
The Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance particularly welcomes the introduction of binding measures to ensure that aid provision complies with human rights agreements. It is regrettable, however, that the idea, recommended by a large number of NGOs, that the focus should be shifted from an aid effectiveness agenda to a development effectiveness agenda, thus highlighting the urgent need for genuinely consistent development policies, has not been adopted. It is also important to point out that the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) tried to weaken our proposal on the introduction of a tax on financial transactions as an alternative source of funding, but failed due to the Greens’ opposition."@en1
