"The report argues that decentralising the management of external aid has helped to improve aid delivery and makes several positive recommendations: it advocates more human resources for the headquarters; more and better evaluation of aid delivery; more directly employed staff and fewer contract agents; and reduced bureaucracy in delivering funds. It also warns that the crisis should not lead to a reduction in resources and that any reduction should not lead to staffing levels being contained or reduced. However, we have two questions. The social and economic development of marginal countries will only really occur and be sustainable when they cease to be dependent on powers such as the EU, are able to take advantage of and strengthen their domestic capacity, and are not seeing their resources continuously depleted. We would also stress that EU external development aid should never, under any circumstances, be used to pursue a so-called defence agenda, with EU military and interventionist intentions. Development aid must never be used as a pretext for intervening in other countries’ domestic affairs, by exercising political influence and creating destabilising environments, which undermine the sovereignty of the peoples."@en1
