"I voted in favour of this report because Latin America needs to turn the fairly promising economic growth it is enjoying into sustainable development. This point was also emphasised in a joint analysis carried out by the OECD and ECLAC on the region’s economic prospects for 2012. Given that the European Union is number one in terms of both donating aid and providing investment in Latin America, it can make a significant contribution to this process. This is why I welcome the proposals to define a new development cooperation policy, with the emphasis on the principle of differentiating and concentrating the aid.
I agree on the need to focus appropriate attention on middle income countries, in line with the European Consensus on Development, as well as with the OECD recommendations. I should stress the importance of economic relations with Latin America and the benefits derived from trade agreements. However, they need to be coordinated with development objectives. At the same time, I call on the Commission to make the programmes for reducing crime and violence a priority. I support the need to place particular emphasis on the specific measures to combat violence against women."@en1
