lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because the reform of EU external aid should be used to showcase how the provision of aid is improving the lives of poor people. The ultimate objective of devolution and the wider reform of external assistance managed by the Commission is to enhance a) speed, b) the thoroughness of financial management procedures and c) the quality of aid in partner countries. Furthermore, the process of devolution should be coupled with a mechanism at Member State level to provide all relevant information on where agencies are planning to spend their budgets, therefore making aid more targeted and allowing resource gaps and funding opportunities in individual countries to be identified. The Commission should complement the criteria and strengthen the procedures for assessing the quality of the projects financed in order to increase the quality of aid and to further decrease the number of non-performing projects. The Commission should also take all the necessary measures to overcome the weaknesses of the supervisory and control systems, notably at delegation level. The Commission and Member States should also increase their efforts to improve links between EU delegations and bilateral agencies, partner governments and other development groups such as think tanks, universities, foundations, NGOs and sub-national authorities, because closer ties would maximise the comparative advantages of the devolution process and of the different actors within the national context."@en1
