"I want to congratulate the rapporteur on the adoption of her resolution on the Commission’s report on policy coherence for development in 2011. All EU policies that affect developing countries must take account of EU development aims. I am also pleased to see this report adopted because I served as rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, the first of many such reports and opinions I hope to do in the EP. I welcome the fact that paragraphs 108 to 116 take up my Committee’s comments and suggestions in full, including those on ensuring that the social clauses in EU trade agreements are implemented and monitored; on the importance of agreeing binding Corporate Social Responsibility obligations; on mainstreaming social policy in the work of the EEAS; and on ensuring that the Commission examines the social implications for developing countries when conducting impact assessments of EU proposals. We must remember that the Social Clause (Article 9, TFEU) applies both within the EU and ‘externally’. We now need a strong political commitment from the Commission and from the European Council to policy coherence for development, promoted by the Member States through specific work programmes, with binding timetables."@en1
