"I voted in favour of this report, because given the recent increase in poverty and social exclusion throughout the world, this is a good time to examine the EU’s development policy. Indeed, the EU’s development policy should aim at eliminating obstacles to development, such as the dumping of agricultural products, illegitimate debt burdens, capital flight and unfair trade, and at creating an international environment conducive to fighting poverty, guaranteeing decent incomes and livelihoods and to the fulfilment of basic human rights, including social and economic rights. There is also a need to tackle inequality, including gender inequality, because gender equality, women’s political and economic empowerment and women’s enjoyment of human rights are essential for poverty reduction and sustainable development. At the same time, it is important to raise public awareness of this and efforts must be made to improve the transparency of aid spending, enhance the dissemination of independent evaluation studies and impose stricter sanctions on those actors who have been found to be misappropriating development aid. Furthermore, it should be stressed that economic growth policies cannot succeed without the promotion of social and environmental standards and the implementation of social protection mechanisms."@en1
