"I voted for this report because, in order to make EU development policy more coherent and more effective, the Commission services in the EU delegations should contribute to development aid policy making and be in the lead with its implementation. The Commission should appoint policy coherence for development focal points in each delegation to monitor the impact of EU policy at partner-country level. Consideration should also be given to using local expertise, and existing staff at EU delegations should strive towards greater involvement in local society, in order to bridge the knowledge gap and to ensure an accurate understanding of the local environment in which they operate. It is also extremely important that the relevant EU financial instruments and the European Development Fund be more poverty-focused and more flexible with regard to their approach and operations, as well as more accountable and transparent. Finally, we cannot fail to take note of the Court of Auditors’ criticisms of the working relationship between the Commission’s headquarters and its delegations regarding external aid management."@en1
