"Madam President, for over 20 years the European Union has used development assistance as a lever to claim – and I emphasise to claim – to advance the cause of human rights. Every Thursday of every Strasbourg session we devote half a day to talking shop. We do not even walk the walk any more. We just do an awful lot of talking and not much else.
The European Union and Nigeria signed an Accord back in 2009 called the EU—Nigeria Joint Way Forward. As a result, EUR 700 million went to Nigeria for 2009—13 and then another EUR 512 million for 2014—20. It was emphasised that the money was intended to deliver an improvement on human rights. Well, quite frankly, given that two years after all those girls were abducted – and it has taken footage in the press, across Europe, to show that some of them are still alive – they have been forgotten and are being ignored, where is the value for that money? Where is that EUR 512 million being spent? Quite frankly, it is another example in which the European Union says one thing but does not actually deliver."@en1
