"When EU countries exploit the natural resources of poorer countries, they leave large footprints behind them. Fisheries in West African waters are close to being exhausted, trade in illegal timber is destroying the environment, and the exploitation of other natural resources has proved to have huge consequences in a poor and politically unstable region. Our activities have effects on the local population.
The report seeks more cohesion between the EU countries and wants the European Parliament to have more of a say. But many special interests are represented in this Parliament, which means that a European aid policy is bound to fail. The international work should be conducted by the United Nations and other organisations. If we really want to change the world as we say, we must resort to other measures. What the EU should do is to review and reform its own policy.
The EU must
to subsidise failed European agriculture
the hidden protectionism which characterises its trade policy and
its immoral fisheries agreements."@en1
