"Since 2007, the EU has been rationalising its geographical cooperation with developing countries in Asia, Central Asia and Latin America, and with Iraq, Iran, Yemen and South Africa, within the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation. The EU has a strategic interest in strengthening the various links with these countries, especially in the area of economic, commercial, academic and scientific exchanges, and it therefore needs a financing instrument to enable the funding of these measures which, by nature, do not meet the conditions of official development aid. Four preparatory actions were established within the framework of budgetary procedures in 2007 and 2008 in order to fulfil this aim: commercial and scientific exchanges with India, commercial and scientific exchanges with China, cooperation with middle-income-group countries in Asia and cooperation with middle-income-group countries in Latin America. During the review of the regulation, an inconsistency was identified in provisions under which costs relating to tax, customs or other fees are exempted as ineligible. For the sake of consistency, it is necessary to bring these provisions into line with the other instruments, and for this reason, I believe that Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 must be amended appropriately."@en1
