Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) The primary objective of the EU’s development policy is the reduction and, in the long term, the eradication of poverty. The policy is also concerned with sustainable development and with tackling inequality and social injustice as well as human rights violations. These issues are key if the root causes of insecurity and violent conflict are to be addressed. The link between security and development is therefore a core principle underpinning the Union’s overall approach to external crises and conflicts, as was pointed out by the Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in a joint communication entitled ‘Capacity building in support of security and development’1a. __________________ 1aJoint communication of 28 April 2015 (JOIN(2015) 17 final).
