Til gengæld mener jeg ikke - som jeg allerede gav udtryk for under behandlingen af hr. McGowans betænkning om et nærliggende emne - at forbedring af komplementariteten mellem EU-bistanden og den nationale bistand er det, der trænger sig mest på lige i øjeblikket.
On the other hand, and 1 already expressed concern on this during the examination of the report made by Mr McGowan on a similar subject, I do not believe that the priority is to make European aid and national aid more complementary.
Det vigtigste, det, der virkelig haster, er efter vores opfattelse, at man giver afkald på den neokolonialisme, som ofte skjuler sig bag det bilaterale samarbejde, og målrettet nærmer sig ud viklingspolitikkens fuldstændige overførsel til EU.
What is a priority, what is really urgent, in our opinion, is to put aside neo-colonialism, which is often disguised as bilateral cooperation, and to progress resolutely towards the total inclusion of development policy in the policies ofthe Community.
Flertallet i Parlamentet går ind for institutionelle frem skridt inden for Unionen og en stadig større integration på alle det offentliges virkefelter.
A majority of us here are committed to the idea of institutional progress of the EU and even greater integration of the main areas of public action.
Unionen er endnu ikke kommet frem til en egentlig udenrigspolitik og kan ikke samlet gøre sin indflydelse gældende vedrørende de store spørgsmål, som optager det internationale samfund.
The European Union is furthermore still looking for a real foreign policy and can not speak in a single voice on the main questions of inter est to international society.
Men i bistandspolitikken har vi et overordentlig stort felt, hvor det europæiske politiske projekt, som bygger på fælles humanistiske værdier, omsider kan få en konkret dimension. sion.
Now we have before us, in de velopment aid, a vast terrain in which the political project of a Europe based on common humanist values could finally find a practical dimension.
Telkämper (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. Goerens har her som altid fremlagt en velgennemtænkt og idérig betænk ning.
Telkämper (V). - (DE) Mr President, as always Mr Goerens has submitted a report which is well thought through and full of ideas.
Den er desuden aktuel, fordi vi står over for en om organisering af udviklingspolitikken.
It is also timely, as a reorganization of development policy is in the pipeline.
Men hvad nytter så danne gode betænkninger, når rammebetingelserne i denne politik ikke passer?
But what is the point of such good reports if the framework conditions of the policy aren't right?
Vi bliver konfronteret med, at vi igen og igen oplever katastrofer, igen og igen oplever hungersnødskatastrofer, igen og igen oplever naturkatastrofer, udviklingspolitikken bliver mere og mere presse rende.
We are confronted with more and more catastrophes, more and more famines, more and more natural disasters. The issue of development policy is becoming more and more urgent.
Her i Parlamentet står vi dog i den situation, at vi som led i budgetproceduren årligt skal kæmpe for, at bud getnedskæringerne ikke bliver gennemført, men at vi i det mindste får samme bevillinger som året før.
Here in the House, how ever, we have a situation whereby every year in the budget process we have to fight for funding cuts not to be implemented, just to hold on to the previous year's fund ing levels.
Desuden konfronteres vi årligt med, at vi har mangel på personale i Kommissionen.
In addition, every year we are faced with the problem of under-staffing within the Commission.
Da jeg var budgetordfører for to år siden, havde Kommissionen lovet at ansætte mere personale til NGO'erne i GD VIII.
When I was budget rapporteur two years ago, the Com mission promised to recruit more personnel in DG VIII for NGOs.
Jeg tror, at NGO'ernes arbejde absolut er vigtigt netop for udviklingspolitikken og med hensyn til effektiviteten.
I believe that the work of the NGOs is of vital importance, particularly for development policy and with regard to efficiency.
Det er multiplikatorer, de kender tingene, de er forankret på stedet.
They are opinion formers, they know their business, they are based on the ground.
Der er dog for lidt personale til, at der kan arbejdes virkelig effektivt.
But there aren't enough staff to be able to work really efficiently.
Jeg har netop fået et brev fra Tyskland fra Pharma-kampagner, hvori de klager de res nød.
I have just received a whingeing letter from the pharmaceutical campaign in Germany.
De skulle skære tre stillinger væk, fordi de ikke fik pengene fra Kommissionen.
They have had to cut three positions because they have not received funding from the Commission.
Bortset fra nogle, næsten anekdotiske, historiske og kulturelle forskelle er der på dette område ikke noget indbyrdes modsætningsforhold mellem de europæiske interes ser.
Beyond historical and cultural, almost anecdotal divergences, or short-term false calculations, there is no opposition of interests amongst Europeans on this subject.
Dette vil jeg i øvrigt gerne understrege i min egen skab af repræsentant for Frankrig, idet jeg i forbifarten glæder mig over at se en tidligere fransk minister for ud viklingssamarbejde i formandssædet under dette møde.
I would also like to stress this in my capacity as an elected representative of France, and furthermore to express my delight that the President of this sitting is a former French Cooperation Minister.
Jeg understreger det i min egenskab af repræsentant for Frankrig, for det må erkendes, at en overførsel af bistandspolitikken til EU ligger meget langt fra fransk tradition, Frankrigs nuværende praksis og, fornyet eller ej, politik.
I would like to stress this in my capacity as an elected representative of France, because it is necessary to recognise that the communitarization of de velopment aid is a thousand miles from the habits, present practice and even the revised doctrine of France.
Og dog tror jeg, at Frankrig - som jeg her brager som eksempel - har alt at vinde ved at lade sine erfaringer og sine samarbejdsmidler indgå i en europæisk bistandspolitik og dermed give dem en ny betydningsfuld dimension. sion.
How ever, I think that France, taken here as a simple example, would have everything to gain from putting its experience and cooperation resources into the kitty of European aid, so that they can have a significant dimension.
Noget lignende gælder for Mozambique, i denne weekend et kulturarrangement eller næste uge i Frankfurt.
It's the same story for Mozambique, a cultural event this weekend, or next week in Frankfurt.
Det hjælper heller ikke, at personalet forflyttes, og at nationalstaterne derefter får hjælp. Jeg tror, at Kommissionen selv skal organisere det.
And it's no help if personnel are sent abroad, if aid is delivered in the countries themselves.
Det er en europæisk udviklingshjælp, og jeg håber, at det vil ændre sig i de kommende år, at vi virkelig kan blive effektive, bortset fra den poli tiske ramme.
It's European development aid and I hope that this will change over the next few years, that we really will become efficient, irrespective of the political framework.
Jeg håber, at den gældsaks, som landene i den tredje verden sidder i, holder op med at tvinge dem mere og mere i knæ, hvorved den frie verdensfinanspolitik, sådan som vi ser det i Sydøstasien, gør verdensmarke
I hope that the burden of debt will stop push ing the countries of the third world further onto their knees, with an unbridled world finance policy, as we are witnessing in South East Asia, making the global market an ever wilder place while we are forced to watch famines and natural disasters.
Der er utallige argumenter herfor, humanitære, økonomi ske... Men kunne jeg kun fremføre ét, ville jeg, for at vende det på hovedet, vælge det kynismens argument, som der oftest henvises til.
There are a thousand reasons - humanitarian and financial - in favour of doing so.
Hvor store nationale interesser er der tale om, i form af politisk indflydelse eller økonomisk gevinst?
What is the national interest, in terms of political influence or economic returns?
Jeg er overbevist om, at Frankrigs indfly-
We are in complete agreement with the report and with the motion for a resolution, on all these points.
For det andet er jeg enig med mine mange kolleger, der har påpeget det vedvarende problem med personalemangel i Kommissionen.
Second, I agree with my many colleagues who have pointed to the chronic problem of under-staffing within the Commission.
Dette får personalet til at engagere sig i det, der så ejendommeligt er beskrevet »stuffing«, hvor koncentrationen er lagt på store projekter for at nå målene på budgettet med for lille vægt på kvalitet.
This causes its staff to engage in the quaintly titled 'stuffing' with its concentration on large projects to reach budget targets with too little regard for quality.
Sidste år forblev en tredjedel af stillingerne inden for den over ordnede ledelse i GD IB, der beskæftiger sig med Asien og Latinamerika, ledige; 40 % af personalet i GD I, IA og IB er ansat på kortvarige kontrakter, mens et stort antal centrale opgaver udføres af eksterne konsulenter.
Last year a third of senior management posts in DG IB, dealing with Asia and Latin America, remained vacant; 40 % of staff in DG I, IA and IB are on short-term contracts, whilst a large number of core tasks are carried out by external consultants.
Yderligere er det absolut nødvendigt med gode forundersøgelser, øget ind dragelse af NGO'er og modtagerlandene samt forbedringer af kapaciteten i modtagerlandene. Kommissionens problemer med underbemandingen skal heller ikke bet vivles.
absolutely necessary to have good pilot studies, increased involvement of NGOs and recipient countries and improvements in capacity in the recipient countries.
Kohærens i EU's politikker og koordinering mel lem medlemslandene fremmer også effektiviteten.
Cohesion in the EU's policies and coordination between the Member States also promote effective ness.
Koordinering er gavnlig, men ordet samordning giver en for kert klang.
Coordination is beneficial, but the word samordning (coordination) has the wrong overtones.
EU-bistanden bør nemlig være et supplement til medlemsstaternes bistand, også selvom den har sin selvstændige berettigelse. Formuleringen i punkt 5 er der for uheldig.
EU aid should be a supplement to aid from the Member States, even if it has its own justifications.
Evalueringsbehovene er for forskellige, og medlemslandene bør derfor ikke underkaste sig EU's me toder, selvom en tilnærmelse er fornuftig.
The evaluation requirements are too different and so the Member States should not subject themselves to the EU's methods, even if a rapprochement makes sense.
Det Forenede Kongerige og Tyskland beskæftiger mere end dobbelt så mange personer, pund for pund, mark for mark, inden for administrationen af deres bistandsprogrammer.
Britain and Germany employ more than double the staff numbers, pound for pound, mark for mark, in managing their aid programmes.
Indtil medlemsstaterne i fællesskab bliver enige om en løsning på personaleproblemet i Kommissionen, vil beslutninger til fordel for bistandskvalitet ikke nå meget længere end det papir, de er skrevet på.
Until Member States jointly agree a solution to the staffing problem in the Commission, resolutions in favour of aid quality will go little further than the paper on which they are written.
Jeg må også modsætte mig idéen om at adskille den poli tiske beslutningstagen fra projektforvaltningsopgaverne. De organisatoriske problemer må løses på anden vis, som det allerede er påbegyndt.
Blokland (I-EDN). - (NL) Mr President, the Goerens re port primarily concerns measures the European Union can take to improve the effectiveness of development aid.
Selvom jeg bestemt ikke er for taler for komitéer, er jeg overbevist om, at Rådets forvaltningskomitéer næppe har noget at gøre med forsinkelser i gennemførelsen.
We can agree with the proposed measures in itself, but the European Commission's Green Paper lays the cause of the poor effectiveness first and foremost at the door of the developing countries themselves.
Forsinkelserne skyldes derimod lange procedurer i Kommissionen.
If the Commission's analysis is right, the feasibility studies and impact evaluations within the Union will not improve the effectiveness of aid, but measures will have to be taken first of all in the developing countries themselves.
Tværtimod er disse forvaltningskomitéer et kvalitetscheck.
To my mind, this con cept is not conveyed clearly enough in the Goerens report.
Der ville næppe have været gennemført forbedringer i det nuværende omfang med hensyn til integration af køns- eller miljøaspektet, hvis ikke det havde været på grund af et konstant pres fra medlemslandene i disse komitéer og her fra Parlamentet.
I must also oppose the idea of separating the political de cision-making from the project management tasks.
Yderligere er referencen til fødevarebistanden i punkt 7 uheldig, idet evalueringen af denne var yderst kritisk og fører til, at den form for bistand begrænses.
The organizational problems have to be solved in another way, as has already been started.
Blokland (I-EDN). - (NL) Hr. formand, Goerens-be-tænkningen drejer sig først og fremmest om forholdsregler, som Den Europæiske Union kan tage for at forbedre effektiviteten i udviklingsbistanden.
Even though I am definitely not a spokesman for committees, I am convinced that the Council's management committees have hardly anything to do with delays in implementation.
Hvis Kom missionens analyse er rigtig, vil forundersøgelser og indvirkningsvurderinger i Unionen ikke forbedre effektiviteten af EU-bistanden, men der skal derimod først træffes forholdsregler i udviklingslandene.
It is hardly likely that there would have been improvements on the current scale with regard to the integration of gender or environmental aspects, if it had not been thanks to constant pressure from the Member States on these committees and from this Parliament.
Denne notits kommer efter min mening ikke rigtigt frem i Goerensbetænkningen.
Further more, the reference to food aid in paragraph 7 is unfortunate because the assessment of this was highly critical and will lead to this kind of aid being restricted.
Howitt (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, dette er en meget omfattende betænkning, og der er meget i den, som jeg er enig i, herunder behovet for en sammenlignelig evaluering mellem EU-udviklingsprojekter og projekter på medlemsstatsniveau, vores langsigtede krav om, at EUF opføres på budgettet og behovet for at offentliggøre de europæiske bistandsprogrammers mange positive resultater. ter.
Howitt (PSE). - Mr President, this is a very wide-ranging report and there is much in it with which to agree, in cluding the need for a comparative evaluation between EU development projects and those of individual Member States, our long-running demands for budgetization ofthe EDF, and the need to publicize the very many positive achievements of European aid programmes.
Argumentationen i Fabra Vallés-betænkningen for en bedre koordinering af den humanitære nødhjælp med den, der ydes af medlemsstaterne, støtter jeg.
I support the plea in the Fabra Vallés report for improved harmony between European humanitarian aid and that of the Member States.
Europa-Kommissionen kan her optræde som koordinator.
The European Commission can play a coordinating role in this.
Men jeg har ikke behov for en EU-aftale med generelle principper for en samordnet udviklingspolitik, sådan som ordføreren forestiller sig det.
But a European charter with general principles for development cooperation policy is something I can do without.
Ikke mindst hvor det drejer sig om mere strukturel udviklingshjælp bør medlemsstaternes hjælpe-
Especially where more structural development aid is concerned, preference should be given to the aid programmes from the Member States.
Blokland programmer foretrækkes. Mange EU-lande har særlige forbindelser med bestemte udviklingslande.
Many European countries have special relations with certain developing countries.
De særlige bånd skal Unionen respekterer.
The Union should respect these special links.
De skulle gøre util strækkeligt brug af kommissionstjenesternes ekspertise.
In this context it is remarkable that the Member States are unilaterally blamed for this poor cooperation.
Det kan godt være, men kan vi ikke med lige så god ret vende sagen om?
They are al leged to make insufficient use of the expertise of the Commission services.
Har Kommissionen i tilstrækkelig grad gjort brag af medlemsstaternes viden og erfaring?
This may be so, but can we not re verse the issue with equal justification, Has the Commission made sufficient use ofthe knowledge and experience of the Member States?
Det synes mig, at medlemsstaterne gennem deres mangeårige erfaring med bestemte udviklingslande råder over en bunke erfaringer, som et kontor som ECHO, der med seks års erfaring lige er begyndt, kan lære meget af.
It seems to me, as a result of their long-standing relations with certain developing countries, the Member States have acquired a wealth of experience, from which an office like ECHO, which with its six years is only just beginning to find its feet, has a lot to learn.
Det er forståeligt, hvorfor medlemsstaterne gør dette. De har kapitalinteresser.
I would like first of all to remind Par liament that this report is about ensuring that European Union money is spent in the best possible way.
Men det er i sidste ende ikke det bedste for den humanitære hjælp.
The Com mittee on Budgetary Control is not trying at all to usurp
Jeg ved, at det kræver en stor indsats at få gang i tingene, men det er det, betænk ningen forsøger at gøre.
However, let me concentrate on two points in the report.
Det er ikke som sådan et angreb på Kommissionen - lad os få det på det rene.
First, let us understand the inconsistencies within Euro pean development programmes because of the geographical distribution of responsibilities within the Commission.
Det handler i lige så høj grad om at få medlemsstaterne til at indse, at gennemsigtighed ikke altid handler om at flytte ting et trin ned, det handler om at gøre tingene på det rette niveau.
Whether a project is in the Horn of Africa, the mountains of Nepal or the Brazilian rainforest, all our aid should observe a common, rights-based approach consist ent with acknowledged human rights standards. Such principles include due diligence, nondiscrimination, ad visability, participation and accountability.
Budgetkontroludvalget forsøger be stemt ikke at bemægtige sig Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejdes rolle.
Wynn the role of the Committee on Development and Cooperation.
Når alt kommer til alt, er betænknin gen Budgetkontroludvalgets svar på Revisionsrettens særberetning.
After all, the report is the Committee on Budgetary Control's response to the special report by the Court of Auditors.
Der for opfordrer jeg Kommissionen til at følge op på betænk ningen, specielt punkt 4 og 7, hvor vi beder om en særlig indsats fra Kommissionens side.
make a plea to the Commission to act upon this report, especially on paragraphs 4 and 7 where we ask for specific action from the Commission.
Det handler om at foretage en politisk udmelding for at sætte tingene i værk, ikke blot komme med yderligere en forordning, men at starte med at gøre noget.
That is about making a po litical statement to get real action: not just to bring another regulation forward, but to start doing something.
Forestil jer, hvad vi kunne gøre med alle de penge, hvis medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen kunne begynde at arbejde effektivt sammen. Pengene ville være givet langt bedre ud.
If we can get our act together between the Member States and the Commission, just imagine what we could do with all the money.
Nogle ville sige, at det blot drejer sig om, at udvalget holder med Revisionsretten mod Kommissionen.
Some would say that this is just the committee siding with the Court against the Commission.
Det er absolut ikke rigtigt.
It is no such thing.
Det er et seriøst forsøg på at få noget sund fornuft ind i et meget kompliceret system.
It is a serious attempt to get some common sense into what is a very complicated system.
Systemet har mange gode punkter, som vi bør rose i begrundelsen, hvilket vi også gør.
The system has many good points which we should, and do, praise in the explanatory statement.
Men vores udvalg mener stadig, at der er mangler.
But it still has failings as far as our committee is concerned.
Fabra Vallés-betænkningen er et forsøg på at samle ekspertisen, erfaringen og de bedste fremgangsmåder, ikke kun i Den Europæiske Union, men også i med lemsstaterne for at udskifte de nuværende 16 forskellige og ukoordinerede systemer.
The Fabra Vallés report is an attempt to bring closer together the expertise, the experience and the best practices, not only ofthe European Union but also of the Member States to replace the present sixteen different and uncoordinated systems.
Lad os ikke glemme, at vi taler om humanitær bistand, ikke udviklingsbistand som så dan.
Let us not forget that we are talking about humanitarian aid, not development aid in to tal.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, i denne debat om effektiviteten af Den Europæiske Unions hjælp til ud viklingslandene og om den nødvendige ekstra hjælp til udviklingslande med stor gæld, må vi først fastslå, at de emner i høj grad hænger sammen.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, in this debate on the effectiveness of European Union aid to developing countries and on the much-needed extra aid to developing countries with heavy debts, we have to establish that these themes are very closely related.
De fattige lande, der er tyngede af store gældsbyrder og derfor årligt skal afdrage en al for stor del af deres årlige budget som renter, har alt for få penge tilbage til deres egen politik, og de bliver der for stadigt fattigere og mere afhængige af udviklingsbistand blandt andet fra Unionen.
After all, poor countries which are weighed down by unbearably high debts, and as a result have to hand over far too much of their yearly budget to interest payments, have far too little money to implement their own policy, and are therefore becoming poorer and poorer, become more dependent on aid, from the Union amongst others.
Det er derfor en god ting, at Unionen støtter Verdensbankens og IMFs initiativ om at lette gældsbyrden.
It is therefore a very good thing that the Union is cooperating in a World Bank and IMF initiative to relieve deb.
Det var det første punkt, som jeg ønskede at fremføre her.
This was the first point I wanted to make.
Det synes mig i øvrigt vigtigt i den forbindelse, at der la ves aftaler med landene for at undgå, at de på ny pådrager sig stor gæld eller med lande for at modvirke, at de ikke påtager sig gæld i forventning om, at den før eller senere eftergives.
It seems to me important in this context that agreements are made with the countries to prevent them from getting into debt again, or to prevent them from running up new debts in the expectation that, sooner or later, these will be written off.
Jeg vil faktisk gerne vide om kommissæren kan oplyse, om der gives sådanne garantier.
I would like to know from the Commission whether these guarantees will be given.
På det tids punkt var Etiopien af forskellige årsager centram for re sten af verdens opmærksomhed.
It was a time when Ethiopia was the centre of world attention for a variety of reasons.
En højere etiopisk tjene stemand sagde til mig: »Problemet med jer europæere er, at jeres egne kapitalinteresser tilsyneladende prioriteres højst.
One senior Ethiopian of ficial said to me: 'The trouble with you Europeans is that your own vested interest seems to be your priority.
I spørger ikke os, hvad vi ønsker.
You do not consult with us as to what we really want.
I forsøger at sikre, at det I giver os, er det vi har behov for«. Og han gav mig et eksempel. »Da vi havde brag for transportmidler til at transportere vand og mad, var medlemsstaterne i Unionen særdeles gode.
You try to ensure that what you want to give us are the things we need'.
Tyskerne gav os lastbiler, de gav os Mer cedes Benz.
The Germans gave us lorries, they gave us Mercedes Benz.
Franskmændene gav os lastbiler, de gav os Renault.
The French gave us lorries, they gave us Renaults.
