1. How to improve economic and social conditions in developing countries, including the contribution of family businesses, in order to prevent health disasters

Committee on Social Affairs and the Environment

Co-rapporteurs: Ibrahim R. Bundu (Sierra Leone) and Arne Gericke

Ibrahim R. Bundu (Sierra Leone) and Arne Gericke presented the report.

Speakers: Anna Zaborska, Marlene Mizzi, Purmanund Jhugroo (Mauritius), Arne Gericke, Ana Rita Geremias Sithole (Mozambique), Catherine Bearder, Lidia Senra Rodríguez, Michèle Rivasi, Hermann Razafindravelo (Madagascar), Laura Agea, Joyce Laboso (Kenya), Krzysztof Hetman, Eleni Theocharous, Sangoné Sall (Senegal), Musa Hussein Naib (Eritrea), Elmi Obsieh Wais (Djibouti) and Walter Seidel (European Commission).

Members underlined the necessity to embed all development strategies locally and to draw on small enterprises and their links with local communities. Small family enterprises, including small farms, play not only an economic, but also a social role in their communities and are more likely to act responsibly and look after the environment. Fair and effective taxation were also mentioned as important factors for inclusive growth and social development. Taxation is necessary to build a viable public infrastructure for business and to prevent and react to epidemics such as Ebola and other emergencies when they occur.

Arne Gericke wound up the debate.

2. The electrification of Africa

Debate with Jean-Louis Borloo, President of the Foundation ‘Energies for Africa’

Jean-Louis Borloo, President of the Foundation ‘Energies for Africa’, stated that access to electricity is a gateway to the realisation of fundamental human rights, such as the rights to food, water, healthcare, education, employment and security. In Africa, however, three quarters of households currently lack secure access to electricity. Symbolically and practically, electricity stood for light and knowledge, and its appeal was driving young people from the rural areas to the electrified urban centres. The ‘Energies for Africa’ initiative, which would aim to mobilise an investment of USD 5 billion annually, was based on the will of African leaders and would rely entirely on renewable energies.

Speakers: Michèle Rivasi, Adjedoue Weidou (Chad), Maurice Ponga, Carlos Zorrinho, Ben Oumar (Niger), Ana Rita Geremias Sithole (Mozambique), Netty Baldeh (Gambia), Lidia Senra Rodríguez, Hermann Razafindravelo (Madagascar), Elmi Obsieh Wais (Djibouti), Piernicola Pedicini, Jean-Luc Schaffhauser, Ousmane Kaba (Guinea), Ahamada Soukouna (Mali), Dambert René Ndouane (Republic of Congo), Michael Gahler, Kennedy K. Hamudulu (Zambia), Norbert Neuser, Iriase Pally (Nigeria), Louis Michel and Roberto Ridolfi (European Commission).

Members welcomed the passionate presentation and stressed that ‘energy poverty’ compounds extreme poverty and the lack of development. Members insisted on the importance of political will and of massive public investment in the production of energy from renewable sources. ACP members showed a great interest in the practical plans for the initiative, such as the creation of an African Energy Agency, investment facilities and local ownership.

3. 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention of the United Nations on climate change: ‘Paris 2015’

Debate without resolution

Roberto Ridolfi (European Commission) made an introductory presentation.

Speakers: Adjedoue Weidou (Chad), Maurice Ponga, Carlos Zorrinho, Purmanund Jhugroo (Mauritius), Elmi Obsieh Wais (Djibouti), Lidia Senra Rodríguez, Michèle Rivasi, Netty Baldeh (Gambia), Piernicola Pedicini, Mikael Phillips (Jamaica), Teshome Toga (Ethiopia), Joyce Laboso (Kenya), Seb Dance and Roberto Ridolfi (European Commission)

Members expressed their hope for an ambitious and binding international climate agreement as the result of the UN climate conference (COP21) that was taking place in Paris. ACP members mentioned several ways in which their own countries were already affected by climate change and what actions they took to mitigate further global warming and to adapt to climate change. Members stated that climate finance was probably the most important stumbling block in the negotiations, while most countries had recognised the need to limit and reduce carbon emissions.

4. Universal healthcare cover

Keynote debate with Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organisation, and Mark Dybul, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organisation (by video message), Pedro Alonso, Director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme, and Mark Dybul, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, highlighted recent progress made to reduce mortality due to diseases in developing countries, namely through vaccination and prevention, as well as better access to treatment. They also outlined current challenges towards the goal of universal healthcare coverage, including the outreach of clinics, introduction of health insurance and access to affordable medicines.

Speakers: Eleni Theocharous, Musa Hussein Naib (Eritrea), Norbert Neuser, Abdoulaye Touré (Côte d’Ivoire), Charles Goerens, Lidia Senra Rodríguez, Michèle Rivasi, Piernicola Pedicini, Bogdan Brunon Wenta, Anna Zaborska, Walter Seidel (European Commission), Pedro Alonso and Mark Dybul.

Members stressed the challenge of unequal access to medicines and treatment, the importance of local and rural basic healthcare, the weakness of national health systems in fragile and least developed countries, coupled with a lack of international support, and the lack of social insurance in many developing countries. Several Members also highlighted successes in public health policy, such as the introduction of health insurance systems, the reduction of malaria deaths and widened and cheaper access to antiviral drugs treating HIV/AIDS, and pleaded for the pursuit of an ambitious global health agenda.

Pedro Alonso and Mark Dybul wound up the debate.

5. Solidarity-based economy

Exchange of views with Nicolas Schmit, Minister of Labour, Employment and the Social and Solidarity Economy (Luxembourg)

Nicolas Schmit stressed that promoting a solidarity-based economy was one of the priorities of the Luxembourg Presidency. He emphasised the growing importance of human-centred economies in EU and ACP countries and their potential for creating jobs for young people, addressing environmental problems and reducing poverty and inequalities. He also underlined the importance of education, of reducing the informal economy, and of financing in order for a solidarity-based economy to reach its full potential in ACP countries.

Speakers: Arne Gericke, Neena Gill and Laura Agea

Members noted that a solidarity-based economy needs to be rooted in the local context, and stressed that its full potential can only be reached with the promotion of the necessary legal frameworks. Some Members also called for a solidarity-based economy to be at the base of the development model to be promoted by the future ACP-EU partnership.
