WRITTEN QUESTION E-3636/01

by Eryl McNally (PSE) to the Commission

(9 January 2002)

Subject: Microcredit and development

Of the EU development programmes which focus on the poorest, notably those concerned with food
security and rural development, do any include microcredit as a key component? If so, what have the
activities been in the last two years?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0016/02

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission

(18 January 2002)

Subject: Microfinance policy

What action has the European Commission taken in the last three years to implement those aspects of its
microfinance policy which impact on the provision of microfinance services to very poor people, in the
developing world?

(2003/C 28 E/009)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0083/02

by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

(24 January 2002)

Subject: Microfinance services to the poor

In 1998 the European Union joined the Microcredit Summit Council of Donor Agencies, committed to
provide by 2005 credit to encourage self-employment amongst 100 million of the world’s poorest families
in developing nations.

What action is the Commission taking to implement microfinance policy through the provision of small
loans to the poorest people to enable them to work themselves out of poverty?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-3587/01, E-3614/01, E-3636/01, E-0016/02 and E-0083/02
given by Mr Nielson on behalf of the Commission

(11 April 2002)

The Commission is fully aware of the relevant role that effective microfinance institutions can play in the
fight against poverty.
they can contribute substantially to making economic opportunities
accessible to the poor. Economic entities, like microenterprises, only need modest financial support to
improve their capacity to create wealth and employment.

Indeed,

A Communication focused on microfinance (1), some methodological orientation and a Communication on
private sector development (2), all issued in 1998, pointed out the important role microfinance can play in
fighting against poverty. This role is confirmed in the Communication on the ‘Development policy of the
Community’ (3), and in the Cotonou Agreement, of the year 2000, and will be clarified in the forthcoming
Guidelines on a harmonised approach to support private sector.
