"I support this report on the work of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)-EU Parliamentary Assembly. The Trade Commissioner’s positive response to the request by ACP countries for a review of contentious elements of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations is welcome. Future EPA negotiations, as well as eventual implementation, should be the subject of closer parliamentary scrutiny. The parliaments of ACP countries should press for their involvement in the adoption and execution of the country and regional strategy papers, as these are the main programming tools for development assistance. In order to help address the Parliamentary Assembly’s concerns regarding the repercussions of the current crisis on the developing world, we need to work on additional sources of financing, especially an international financial transactions tax. The ACP governments, on the other hand, need to show an increased commitment to fighting against tax havens, tax evasion and illicit capital flight. The establishment, at the beginning of the current term, of a permanent European Parliament delegation for relations with the Pan-African Parliament is a very positive step which will contribute to consolidate the increasingly political engagement of the ACP-EU Parliamentary Assembly."@en1
