"Many times we have called Parliament’s attention to the issue of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD). We emphatically denounce the inconsistency of the EU’s sectoral policies with the objectives declared in the area of development cooperation. This report highlights several important aspects which we value, such as: insufficient health funding; the failure of a substantial proportion of the Fisheries Agreements, in particular the poor results obtained in areas of scientific and technological cooperation and sustainable development of the sector (an aspect that we underscored in the opinion of the Committee on Fisheries, for which we were the rapporteurs); the importance of policies promoting equality between men and women; and the recognition of the right of each country to define by democratic means its own policies, priorities and strategies. Regrettably, other aspects have been overlooked or not appropriately addressed. The ‘brain drain’ issue (without calling into question the effects of the Blue Card on developing countries); the continued existence of tax havens and the flight of capital and economic crime which they usher in; the question of access to raw materials from developing countries with no regard for local development and poverty eradication goals. These are but a few examples. We therefore abstain."@en1
