"I welcomed this document because the EU’s cooperation and development policy should be defined in close consultation with Latin America in order to achieve a sustainable, fair and well-balanced development policy towards the region. In order to balance Latin American and EU development policy, Latin America must make a special effort to promote its regional political, economic and trade integration. As defined in the Treaty of Lisbon, the overall objective of development cooperation is to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable economic and social development, including the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. Latin America and the EU have formed a Bi-regional Strategic Partnership based on common values and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Two of the EU’s nine strategic partners in the world are in Latin America (Brazil and Mexico), and the EU is the principal investor and the second largest trade partner, as well as the principal donor of development aid. Most of the people in poverty around the world live in these middle income countries. These countries often face significant inequalities and weak governance that endangers the sustainability of their own development process. Middle income countries play an important role in global policy, security and trade issues, producing and protecting global public goods. Following periods of economic prosperity, they remain vulnerable to global risks of an economic, environmental or security nature. Support for these middle income countries is important in order to achieve the MDGs."@en1
