".
The European Union’s support for development and external aid must, quite apart from direct aid within the framework of development policies, entail adopting a more mature strategy, in line with the framework of globalisation. I quote the Doha Declaration: ‘International trade can’ – and, I would add, must – ‘play a major role in the promotion of economic development and the alleviation of poverty’.
The Community’s trade policy must therefore be consistent with the aims of its policy on developing countries, of which the overriding aim must be to eradicate poverty and to promote sustainable development. Emphasis should also be placed on areas such as respecting the environment, improving social conditions, fighting corruption and promoting good governance.
I believe that the proposed new system will be more transparent and objective, something that we must constantly monitor and assess.
I voted in favour for all of these reasons and in light of all of my previous speeches that have highlighted the aspect of Europe’s solidarity with developing countries, and its historical ties and responsibilities in this field."@en1
