"I voted in favour of this report because we need to pay more attention to the outcomes of the work of the African, Caribbean, Pacific – European Union (ACP-EU) Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) and ensure coherence between its resolutions and those of the European Parliament. Through the quality of its work, the JPA has succeeded in establishing itself as a player in North-South cooperation. The European Commission now subjects country and regional strategy papers to parliamentary scrutiny by both the European Parliament and the ACP countries’ national parliaments. It is important for the Committee on Development and the JPA to monitor the situation and ensure that effective use is made of this means of parliamentary scrutiny. The Assembly has played, and continues to play, a key role in monitoring the negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). Hearings of the head negotiators on both sides, meetings with economic and social players (both at formal meetings and at events held alongside them) and interaction between European and southern parliamentarians have helped to make the process more transparent and have made it easier to take local issues into account. Whatever the outcome of the negotiations, there can be no doubt that the Assembly’s work has had a bearing on the process."@en1
