lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because in 2010 the Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) continued to provide a framework for an open, democratic and in-depth dialogue between the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries on the Cotonou Partnership Agreement, including the issue of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). I believe that we need to pay more attention to the outcomes of the work of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly and ensure coherence between its resolutions and those of the European Parliament. In particular we need to stress the crucial role of the ACP national parliaments, local authorities and non-state actors in managing and monitoring the Country and Regional Strategy Papers and the implementation of the European Development Fund (EDF). I also agree with the opinion that there needs to be close parliamentary scrutiny during the negotiation and conclusion of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). The JPA must maintain its pressure on EU Member States to take urgent steps to meet their 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) commitments in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals as well as their specific pledges to Africa and the least developed countries. However, these measures must be fully transparent, multiannual, binding and should include legislation. The Commission must supply all available information to the parliaments of the ACP countries and assist them in exercising democratic scrutiny, in particular by means of capacity-building in this area."@en1
