lpv:translated text	"− This report is drawn up annually by the European Parliament’ Committee on Development. It is an evaluation of the work of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) in the past year. The rapporteur is concerned over the fall in the participation of MEPs in the meetings of the JPA’s specialised committees. This is a real problem, the causes of which need further study. At various times we have stressed the importance of the JPA as a space for sharing experiences and joint reflection which can greatly enhance cooperation with the ACP countries. While the report does not say so, JPA meetings clashing with other parliamentary activities (whether committee meetings or plenary sessions) is one of the factors that has limited participation. Such clashes should be avoided in the future. The rapporteur expresses concern over budget cuts in EU Member States affecting development policies and calls on the JPA to maintain its pressure on EU Member States to meet their 0.7 % gross national income target by 2015. This is a fair and relevant concern, which we support. Once again, it stresses the need to uphold the freedom and independence of the media, but says nothing about the issue of the concentration of media ownership on the limitation of this freedom and independence."@en1
