1. Notes that the replacement of the Development Cooperation Instrument with the Global Europe Instrument coincides with a dramatic reversal of the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and with rapid aggravation of the global climate and biodiversity crisies; insists that in the implementation of the Global Europe Instrument, maximum efficiency in the response to these incomparably important challenges must be sought; reiterates the importance of properly implementing the horizontal targets set in the Global Europe Regulation; expects to see the program- level targets published together with the draft budget 2023 as well as any legislative changes required in the programs effected to ensure the targets will be met;

Paragraph 2 b (new)
2 b. Notes that the possibilities of mainstreaming migration policy in EU external policy are significantly broadened by the inclusion of migration in the thematic, geographical and rapid response component and the migration budgetary target of the Global Europe Regulation; notes with concern, however, that through the ‘rapid response’ component, cooperation with third countries on migration management can be funded without the need for the Commission to publish any programming documents or consult civil society actors, and without the involvement of Parliament; insists in this regard on the need to ensure that the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework and related financial instruments including Global Europe, is accompanied by a robust human rights framework for the identification, implementation and monitoring of future migration cooperation programmes;

5. Stresses that choices of aid modalities should always be based on realistic and independent assessments of the likely efficiency of possible options, supported by evidence and made public; points to the salience of this in the rapidly expanding area of private sector cooperation, ,where the evidence base is limited and should carefully be broadened and deepened in order to facilitate optimal use of official development assistance (ODA);

Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5 b. Stresses that, given the shortcomings recently reported on blending and guarantee mechanisms to facilitate optimal use of ODA, contribute to SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement and to demonstrate development additionality, widening the geographical scope and budget share of blending finance via EFSD+ in NDICI-GE, and through the Global Gateway strategy, making the blending-guarantee mechanism the main financial tool for mobilising investments is premature and unjustified; insists on the importance of the scrutiny of the European Parliament on the implementation of EFSD+, including its deployment through the Global Gateway and urges the Commission to provide all the necessary means to ensure the Global Gateway Strategy is aligned with the programming exercise;
