This means that it is essential that AfT finance is additional to pre-existing development assistance and does not detract from other development priorities.

Similarly, if AfT is to be truly recipient-led then it is essential that the amount of AfT available is responsive to growing levels of demand.

Indeed demand may grow substantially; for example at an OECD AfT policy dialogue in November 2006, Mauritius's deputy Prime Minister outlined plans which would require €2bn in AfT funding over 10 years.

That the EU has pledged to raise its levels of development assistance by €20 billion to 0.56% of GDP by 2010, means that there should be ample finance available to respond to rising demands.

The need for extra finance is even more apparent when we consider that the Commission target of raising AfT to €1 billion by 2010, upon closer inspection, meant a not particularly ambitious €150 million increase over 4 years.

While at the Kong Ministerial in 2005, the level of financing pledged for the IF increased by $25 million to $60 million, this still leaves it short of the required $300 million.

Aid for Trade, EPAs and the Doha Development Agenda
Aid for Trade, EPAs and the Doha Development Agenda
It is proper that the AfT element of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA should be kept separate from, and should not be conditional upon, the "single undertaking" of the Doha Round of WTO negotiations.

Similarly, within the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) currently being negotiated with ACP countries, AfT assistance should be provided regardless of the outcome of EPA negotiations.

The Commission and Member States should clearly present the available AfT finance available to ACP states, prior to the conclusion of EPAs so that they can properly anticipate the level of assistance they will receive both in order to facilitate trade within EPAs, and to mitigate EPA related adjustment costs.

This would help to bring the development dimension of EPAs, which has been hitherto conspicuous by its absence, back to the fore.

There is also a key role for AfT in facilitating the creation of the regional trading blocs envisaged within EPAs, and in facilitating inter-regional, and intra-regional South-South trade.

Stresses the essential role that Aid for Trade measures can play in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 by promoting the active participation of developing countries in the multilateral trading system; points out, however, that Official Development Assistance will need to increase substantially between now and 2015 if this shared ambition is to be realised;

Recalls that Aid for Trade must improve market access for small and disadvantaged producers in developing countries; in this respect calls for 10% of the Aid for Trade budget to be earmarked for Aid for Fair Trade, in accordance with paragraph 19 of its resolution of 6 July 2006 on Fair Trade and Development

Considers that the Aid for Trade package should include a wide range of capacity-building measures and technical assistance to improve the ability of African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States to identify needs and strategies and develop their competence and efficiency in trade negotiations, their capacity to formulate regional trade policy, in particular as regards South-South inter-regional trade, and their capacity to establish local markets;

Calls for Aid for Trade measures to follow a more recipient-driven approach taking into account the demands of the developing countries and improving the ownership of the aid; stresses that Aid for Trade should be untied, comprehensive, sufficient and incremental to existing programmes, predictable and available in the long term; suggests that existing trade rules should also be simplified and made more user-friendly;

Calls for more coordination and coherence among various aid donors, based on the proven competence of the agencies involved in delivering effective high-quality assistance in various Aid for Trade areas, as well as for more transparency regarding the aid allocated through trade-related assistance; insists therefore on the involvement of fully-fledged representatives of civil society and the private sector in the Integrated Framework;

Urges the EU to fulfil all the commitments that it made in the Doha Round to the least developed countries by frontloading the development package as well as eliminating its agricultural export subsidies by 2013; stresses that the EU must urge the other members of the WTO to do the same in relation to their commitments to the least developed countries;

Notes that women benefit less from the opportunities presented by trade liberalisation and globalisation, while at the same time they are harder hit by the adverse effects of those phenomena, and urges the EU therefore, in its trade-related assistance programmes, to devote specific attention to increasing opportunities for women to participate in trade, with particular emphasis on international trade;

– having regard to the report of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety and the opinions of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the Committee on Fisheries ( A6‑0089/2007 ),
А. като има предвид вероятността настоящите обезпокоителни темпове на загуба на биоразнообразие да се ускорят и да продължат, ако не се предприемат широкомащабни мерки,
A. whereas the worrying current rate of biodiversity loss is likely to gather pace and continue in the absence of large-scale measures,
Б. като има предвид, че съществуват малко подходящи показатели, един от най-важните от които е Единният индекс за селскостопански птици, за ефективно измерване на степента, в която се спазват разпоредбите относно биологичното разнообразие при изпълнение на различните политики,
B. whereas there are few adequate indicators available for effectively measuring the extent to which the imperatives of biological diversity are being complied with in the implementation of the various policies, one of the most notable being the Common Farmland Bird Index,
В. като има предвид, че биоразнообразието играе съществена роля за поддържане на живота и прехраната, икономическото и социалното развитие, човешкото благосъстояние, както и за постигането на целите на хилядолетието за развитие до 2015 г.,
C. whereas biodiversity plays an essential role in sustaining life and livelihoods, economic and social development and human well-being, as well as in achieving the 2015 Millennium Development Goals,
Г. като има предвид, че според оценката на ООН от 2005 г. за състоянието на екосистемата по време на хилядолетието, от началото на 60-те години на ХХ век се наблюдава влошаване състоянието на 2/3 от всички екосистеми,
D. whereas, according to the UN 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, there has been a decline in two thirds of all ecosystems since the beginning of the 1960s,
Д. като има предвид, че основните фактори за загуба на биологично разнообразие са изменението на климата, нанасянето на щети на околната среда, използването на методи за интензивно земеделие и неподходящото управление на горските и водните ресурси;
E. whereas the main factors behind the loss of biological diversity are climate change, environmental degradation, the use of intensive farming methods and inappropriate forest and water resource management,
