The Council\n held a policy debate to prepare the EU position for the UN Millennium\n Development Goal (MDG) review summit, which will take place in New York in\n September 2010.
The purpose of\n the discussion was to identify key messages for conclusions to be adopted at\n the June Foreign Affairs Council. These conclusions will contain the EU's position\n and political messages for the UN event in New York.
The MDGs\n constitute the first ever set of shared development goals at international\n level. World leaders agreed in 2000 to take decisive action to combat world\n poverty in its different dimensions by 2015, using time-bound and measurable\n targets.
\nThe Committee\n on Development adopted the own-initiative report drafted by Michael CASHMAN\n (S&D, UK) on progress towards the achievement of the Millennium Development\n Goals (MDG): mid-term review in preparation of the UN high-level meeting in\n September 2010 in New York.
Funding: Members expect the June 2010 European Council to agree on an\n ambitious, united EU position ahead of September's UN MDG meeting, and\n to lead to new, results-oriented, additional, transparent and measurable\n commitments. Member States are called upon to meet the obligations to which\n they agreed as part of the European Consensus on Development (0.7% aid\n promises by 2015 at the latest). They point out that achieving the MDGs\n must remain a key objective for the European Union and that poverty\n reduction through the achievement of the MDGs must be recognised\n unambiguously as the overarching framework for EU policy and that this must\n be reflected clearly in all relevant policy – including trade policy – and\n legislative proposals.
Several\n proposals are made to enable the adequate financing of MDGs. They call on:
Policy\n coherence for development: Members believe that\n achieving the Millennium Development Goals requires above all a radical\n change of policy in industrialised and developing countries in order to\n establish fair and equitable global trade rules, fair distribution of wealth,\n measures to foster access to land, water and biodiversity resources and\n measures to foster a policy of local support for sustainable smallholding\n agriculture.
More policy\n coherence is necessary for development. Members propose the following\n measures:
Members recall\n that the Aid for Trade strategy is aimed at supporting poor and vulnerable\n countries in developing the basic economic infrastructure and tools they need\n to harness trade as an engine of economic growth and development. They\n welcome the Commission’s statements that the EU has already met its target of\n committing EUR 2 billion to trade related assistance (TRA) by 2010. They call\n on the Commission, nevertheless, to present detailed information on the\n budget lines used to finance trade-related assistance and Aid for Trade.
On an\n environmental note, Members call for a climate\n change risk assessment to be systematically incorporated into all aspects of\n policy planning and decision-making, including trade, agriculture and food\n security. They demand that the result of this assessment be used to formulate\n clear guidelines on sustainable development cooperation policy. The\n report stresses that there is a need for an effective global response to the\n problem of climate change, whereby industrialised countries shoulder their\n responsibility and take the lead in combating greenhouse gas effects, which\n will threaten the MDGs if not addressed.
Priority\n MDG targets: Members call on the EU to maintain\n an integrated, comprehensive approach to the MDGs, recognising that all\n individual goals and targets are interlinked and establishing minimum\n requirements for the achievement of poverty eradication. On the main issues,\n they express the following:
Governance: Members also call for efforts to be made in this area.\n Developing countries should:
In parallel,\n efforts should be made by the international community in order to:
To conclude,\n Members call on the EU to enter into an ambitious, constructive dialogue with\n all traditional and emerging donors in order to ensure that the MDGs are\n achieved and that poverty reduction remains at the top of the global agenda.
\nThe Council\n held an exchange of views in preparation for the United Nations\n high-level plenary meeting to be held in New York from 20 to 22 September to\n review implementation of the UN's millennium development goals (MDGs).
It approved\n conclusions setting out the EU position for the meeting (see doc.\n 1083/10).
The MDGs\n constitute the first-ever set of shared development goals agreed at\n international level. World leaders agreed in 2000 to take decisive action to\n combat world poverty in its different dimensions by 2015, using time-bound\n and measurable targets. With only five years remaining until the deadline, the\n aim of the New York meeting will be to provide a comprehensive review of successes\n and shortcomings, and to agree on concrete action to speed up progress.
The EU has\n doubled its official development assistance since 2000 in promoting the MDGs.\n In 2009 it provided EUR 49 billion, more than half the total of global\n development aid. An EU action plan on gender equality and women's empowerment\n in development is attached to the Council conclusions.
\nThe European\n Parliament adopted by 353 votes to 206, with 75 abstentions, a resolution on\n progress towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG):\n mid-term review in preparation of the UN high-level meeting in September 2010\n in New York.

It emphasises that poverty\n reduction through the achievement of the MDGs must be recognised\n unambiguously as the overarching framework for EU development policy and that\n this must be reflected clearly in all relevant policy – including trade\n policy – and legislative proposals. It believes that the MDGs should not be\n seen as a technical matter which will be resolved simply by providing more\n money or trade opportunities without identifying and tackling the underlying\n causes of poverty.
In an\n amendment adopted in plenary, Parliament calls on the EU and the Member\n States to introduce enhanced accountability measures concerning their\n commitment to give 0.7% of GNI as aid by 2015, including setting up an\n \"ODA Peer Review\" process which would, within the Foreign Affairs\n Council, assess progress towards the 0.7% target by 2015, culminating in a\n report to the European Council and the European Parliament.
Several\n proposals are made to enable the adequate financing of MDGs. They call on:
It should be\n noted that plenary did not accept the committee’s proposal which calls on the\n EU unilaterally to introduce a tax on currency and derivatives transactions\n in order to fund global public goods, including the MDGs.
Policy\n coherence for development: Parliament believes\n that achieving the Millennium Development Goals requires measures to foster\n access to land, water and biodiversity resources and measures to foster a\n policy of local support for sustainable smallholding agriculture. More policy\n coherence is necessary for development. Parliament proposes the following\n measures:
Contrary to\n the committee’s position, plenary does not ask the Union to put an end to\n agricultural exports subsidies. However, Parliament calls on the EU to uphold\n the principle of food security in developing countries and to urge all\n players to comply with this principle during the current WTO negotiations.

Governance: Parliament also calls for efforts to be made in this area.\n Developing countries should:
improve\n international accounting standards in order to prevent tax avoidance and tax\n evasion practices, thereby achieving better global fiscal governance;
involve\n parliaments, local government, civil society and other non-state actors at\n all stages of policy formulation and implementation;
strengthen\n their good governance in all public matters, especially management of the aid\n received.
In parallel,\n efforts should be made by the international community in order to:
