"I voted in favour of this report. One of the EU’s foreign policy objectives is to develop relations and create associations with third countries, supporting sustainable development at the economic, social and environmental levels of the developing countries. The Treaty of Lisbon provides that the overall objective of development cooperation is to aim to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable economic and social development, as well as achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. I welcome the European Parliament’s call for new channels of development cooperation between the European Union and the Latin American region while negotiating the next development cooperation instrument for 2014-2020. I agree that we need to help Latin American countries implement more just fiscal policies, strengthen tax-paying capacity and the fight against fraud and tax evasion, target 20% of funds allocated by the EU at education and health programmes and develop various programmes intended to enhance dialogue and cooperation between the EU and Latin America. I believe that the new financing instrument for development cooperation should put most emphasis on combating poverty and achieving the MDGs, particularly encouraging regional, fiscal and tax policies, while boosting social services, science and innovation."@en1
