". I voted in favour of this text. Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) must be based on the recognition of the right of a country or a region to define by democratic means its own policies, priorities and strategies to protect its populations’ livelihoods. Division into eight areas of action selected for the period 2011-2014 is a good choice. I would note, among other things, the proposed new policy on corporate social responsibility, the importance of binding corporate social responsibility obligations and the importance of encouraging employers to apply social standards which are more ambitious than current statutory provisions, including the possibility to develop and obtain a designation such as a social label. I also call on the Commission to encourage Member States to monitor implementation of these obligations rigorously. PCD is not merely a technical issue, but is primarily a political responsibility and Parliament, as co-legislator and as a democratically elected institution, has a key responsibility for translating the commitments into concrete policies."@en1
