Article 208 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union establishes the reduction and, in the long term, the eradication of poverty, as defined in the European Consensus on Development, as the primary objective of EU development policy. It is important for the Union to take account of the objectives of development cooperation in the policies that it implements and which are likely to affect developing countries. Unfortunately, there are clear inconsistencies in the EU's trade, agriculture, fisheries, climate, intellectual property rights, migration, finance, arms and raw materials policies which affect development goals. The fact that policy coherence for development has the potential to contribute to poverty reduction by finding fundamental synergies among EU policies is important. A post-2015 international framework for development cooperation has the potential to play a catalytic role in addressing important development and other global challenges and could help to fulfil individuals’ rights and needs. I believe it is important to strive to achieve, inter alia, transparency in all areas of the issue, as it is instrumental in achieving policy coherence for development."@en1
