I voted in favour of the proceedings of the African, Caribbean and Pacific - European Union (ACP-EU) Joint Parliamentary Assembly. I underline the need to pay more attention to the outcomes of the work of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) and to ensure coherence between its resolutions and those of the European Parliament. I also stress the crucial role of the ACP national parliaments, local authorities and non-state actors in the drafting and monitoring of the Country and Regional Strategy Papers and the implementation of the European Development Fund. We call on the Commission and the ACP governments to guarantee their involvement in this process.
I call on the EU and ACP countries to encourage citizens, particularly women, to participate in development issues, since the involvement of society is vital. I acknowledge the problem-solving and conflict resolution skills of women and urge the Commission and the JPA to include more women in task forces and working groups, and highlight the valuable contribution of the Women’s Forum in this regard. I reiterate the importance of an enhanced, genuine and more comprehensive political dialogue on human rights, including non-discrimination on the grounds of sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation."@en1
