(4) In 2009, independent experts adopted the report of the interim evaluation of EDCTP18. The opinion of the expert panel was that EDCTP1 provided a unique platform for a genuine dialogue with African scientists and it has started to bridge the gap between North and South in building research capacities and in providing learning and working opportunities for young African researchers. Following this report, there are fundamental issues to be taken into consideration for a second European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership Programme (hereinafter ''EDCTP2 Programme''): the current scope of EDCTP1 needs to be changed and extended; the integration of European national programmes should be further improved; collaboration with other major public and private funders, including the pharmaceutical industry,non-governmental organisations and foundations needs to be strengthened and extended; synergies with European external policy actions should be developed, in particular with EU development assistanceespecially with EU development assistance, including by earmarking part of the EU’s contribution to the Global Fund To Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for actions aimed at facilitating the transfer of EDCTP2 research results to the populations of developing countries, thereby strengthening their healthcare systems; co-funding rules should be clarified and simplified; monitoring tools need to be strengthened. __________________ 8 Van Velzen et al., Independent External Evaluation Report, December 2009.

(28) Since the objectives of this Decision, namely to contribute to the reduction of the social and economic burden of poverty- related diseases, neglected infectious diseases and diseases that chiefly affect children in developing countries and in particular in sub-Saharan Africa by accelerating the clinical development of effective, safe and affordable medical interventions for poverty-related diseases, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States due to the lack of necessary critical mass to be achieved, both in human and financial terms, and can therefore, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary for that purpose.
