The European Union cannot neglect to regularly assess the impact of its development cooperation and how it could improve its results. The ways we contribute to the development of third countries should be understood in the same way as the process of European integration: evolving and, by its very nature, unfinished. Models that are too closed run the risk of losing touch with reality and not producing the desired effects.
Without clearly setting out the instruments available and what objectives it intends to achieve with them, the European Union will lack unity of purpose and a sense of mission, which are so necessary in order to help others help themselves. There is no point in focusing action in just the countries most used to receiving aid and abandoning others to increasing problems. Europe should seek imaginative ways of linking countries’ political development to their economic and social development. Establishing a European Endowment for Democracy could be an instrument for heading in that direction."@en1
