"I agree with this report and would refer to Article 208 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which sets out the reduction and eradication of poverty as the EU’s main objectives in development policy, and that the EU should take into account development cooperation objectives in the policies it implements and which are likely to affect developing countries. It is therefore crucial that synergies be created between the EU’s policies, as Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) presents an opportunity for the EU to forge equal and sustainable partnerships with developing countries that go beyond development cooperation. The report also highlights the fact that Parliament, as co-legislator, has a key responsibility for translating the commitments into concrete policies. I also agree with the fact that the reports calls on the Member States and their national parliaments to promote PCD through a specific working programme with binding timetables and the fact that it calls for the introduction of structured annual meetings between representatives of the EU’s national parliaments. Lastly, I fully agree with the way the report is orientated in including specific recommendations in the five areas of focus: trade, agricultural and fisheries policy, climate change, energy security and migration."@en1
