lpv:translated text	". Like the rapporteur, I welcome the adoption and the implementation by the Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) of its amended Rules of Procedure, intended to streamline its activities. Particularly significant is the setting-up of three standing committees, which could help the Assembly to become a genuine parliamentary assembly. I believe the attention the JPA has paid to the rights of children and in particular to child soldiers, is to be lauded, as is the positive influence that its report had on this matter in the Council, which resulted in strategic guidelines being adopted on the unacceptable use of children in armed conflicts. I must, however, express my frustration at the JPA’s inability to exert any positive influence over the situation in Zimbabwe. The JPA must strive to be more effective and efficient in preventing conflicts, become more actively involved in monitoring electoral and democratisation processes and promote the involvement of civil society in the work of the Joint Assembly and its standing committees, particularly when the JPA meets in ACP countries. Despite my reservations arising from the conviction that the JPA could be more ambitious in these fields, I share the rapporteur’s view that these developments are broadly to be welcomed. I am therefore voting in favour."@en1
