"Mr President, the Joint Parliamentary Assembly of the representatives of the European Parliament and selected African, Caribbean and Pacific countries is, so far, the only international panel which sits regularly with the aim of promoting the interdependence of North and South. It plays a particular role through the monitoring of negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements.
I therefore see a need for the Commission to provide the parliaments of ACP countries with all available information and to support them in exercising democratic control. Efforts that strive to uphold the freedom and independence of the media are extremely important and are aimed at ensuring pluralism and the participation of democratic opposition representatives and minority groups in political life. The exchange of views with local authorities on the situation in a given country, which took place for the first time in Kinshasa, may become an appropriate solution. I also hope that in the future misunderstandings such as the absence of the Council’s representative during Question Time will not occur again, as this casts an unfavourable light on European diplomacy. I endorsed the report."@en1
