"Mr President, I voted in favour of this report on the Commission’s devolution of external assistance to its EU delegations in third countries. The report concludes that aid delivery is more efficient under the more devolved system, with both the speed of the delivery and the thoroughness of financial procedures having seen some improvements. It does accept, however, that there is still room for further improvement from the old central system coming straight from Brussels. I welcome the fact that the report notes that the European External Action Service itself has not yet provided the value added that was initially promised in terms of EU development assistance, in particular, the coordination between the CFSP foreign policy dimension and the development policies and priorities, and I note the fact that the mandate of the External Action Service remains unclear. I back calls for the Commission to continue all efforts to increase the transparency and accountability of the External Action Service, which should remain budget-neutral and subject to constant audit and scrutiny by this Parliament in the hope that this, in turn, will lead to it being more effective and better value for money for the Member States."@en1
