"I voted in favour of this report. In 2000, at the United Nations Millennium Summit, 189 world countries approved the Millennium Development Goals, and committed to implementing these by 2015. These goals aim to halve poverty by 2015, reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five, reduce by three quarters the mortality rate amongst pregnant women, halt the spread of HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases and ensure sustainable economic and environmental development, etc. The European External Action Service (EEAS) established under the Lisbon Treaty should make an effective contribution to the implementation of these objectives and, with three years remaining until the deadline for the implementation of the MDGs, we need to enhance coordination of action among the EU, Member States and partner countries, as well as harmonise development activities and increase their efficiency and effectiveness. I agree that we must strengthen the EEAS and clarify its mandate and the competences in development cooperation."@en1
