"Mr President, there is nothing more incoherent than the prospect of Britain withdrawing from the European Union and starting to compete with other aid donors in a way which would be wasteful and counter-productive.
The British influence in European development efforts has helped leverage greater commitment to the UN 0.7% GNP aid target, to untying aid, and now to mainstreaming the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In my own East of England constituency, I am proud to represent the Fair Trade organisation Banana Link in Norwich, a development education centre in Colchester, and to support students from developing countries through the Cambridge Trust.
Development groups like Global Justice UK in Watford rightly question us about the development impact of TTIP. Those in Britain who support international development recognise that we live on a common planet, they recognise the importance of international cooperation and see the advantages of working together. They see it not as a choice between working together in Europe and in the wider world, but of both being mutually reinforcing. The case for international development is for Britain to remain in the European Union."@en1
