"− More than half of all of the money spent on helping the poor countries of the world currently comes from the European Union and its Member States. For this reason EU development policy must be treated as an issue of special importance. In my opinion the report presented by the rapporteur, Mr Goerens, contains many innovative points and advances the fundamental goal of EU development policy, namely the long term elimination of poverty. I too agree that EU trade facilitation instruments must not focus solely on developing countries’ export sectors, but must be targeted at facilitating trade for local and regional markets too. In terms of promoting inclusive growth and increasing the effectiveness of aid, there is great promise in the innovative approach whereby from now on loans agreed for a developing country will not be classified as official development aid in donor countries unless an ex-post assessment can confirm that the loan in question has in fact helped to reduce poverty. In developing countries there is a great need to boost entrepreneurship and private sector development, and this report is right to highlight the need to create favourable business environments for SMEs and microenterprises and the importance of access to credit. I am pleased that the report sets out the need for a well-coordinated, consistent policy for Member States and other European cooperation actors and calls for the creation of an independent think-tank with analytical and advisory abilities to meet this need. Because of these innovative approaches I voted in favour of this report on development policy."@en1
