"The Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) and the EU represents a comprehensive partnership unique in the world, the content of which has been developed at institutional level, and which now includes aspects such as aid, economic cooperation, human rights, trade relations between the EU and the six ACP regions, and political dialogue. In my view, this wealth makes ACP-EU cooperation a unique model for this kind of partnership in terms of development. I therefore welcome the fact that in 2010 the JPA continued to provide a framework for open, democratic and in-depth dialogue between the EU and the ACP countries, which last year resulted in two meetings, in Tenerife and Kinshasa, although I am bound to regret the EU Council’s absence from the latter.
I would stress the importance of the JPA maintaining its pressure on the EU Member States to take steps to honour their commitments to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, of greater national parliament involvement in country and regional strategy papers and in implementing the European Development Fund, of measures for combating poverty and climate change, and of strict adherence to all aspects of human rights."@en1
