"The Joint Parliamentary Assembly met twice in 2011 and carried out two fact-finding missions in the same year, one to Timor-Leste and the other to the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in South Korea The purpose of the mission to Timor-Leste was to support the country with the development of democracy, given that elections were to be held there in 2012. Through the quality of its work, the Joint Parliamentary Assembly has succeeded in establishing itself as a key player in North-South cooperation. The Assembly has played, and continues to play, a key role in monitoring the negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). Hearings of the head negotiators on both sides, meetings with economic and social players, and interaction between European and southern parliamentarians have helped to make the process more transparent and have made it easier to take local issues into account. Whatever the outcome of the negotiations, there can be no doubt that the Assembly’s work has had a bearing on the process, and for this reason I voted in favour of the motion."@en1
