"As a member of the Delegation to the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, I endorsed the report on the work of the JPA in 2009. I have a good opinion of the work of the assembly this year, including, in particular, the resolutions adopted on the effect of the global crisis on social conditions and concerning climate change.
Next week, during the 20th session of the assembly, we will be dealing, amongst other matters, with achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. As a member of the JPA Committee on Social Affairs and the Environment, I think it is essential that a comprehensive analysis be made and a wide-ranging debate entered into next year on the environmental and social situation in the ACP states. A review of existing measures will allow us to plan objectives for the coming years more effectively. In keeping with the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee, I am also in favour of greater support and recognition for the African social economy.
Integration of the African social economy into the EU programme can result in a strengthening of cooperation with international organisations such as the International Labour Organisation and the World Bank, and can also lead to greater support from European public opinion for strengthening EU external aid by greater involvement of the major players of the European social economy. I think the JPA could also examine more thoroughly the role of the African social economy in eliminating poverty. I hope the JPA will be actively involved in implementation of the EU-Africa strategy."@en1
