Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Recognises the specific role of EU investments, which must reflect the strategic interests and development objectives of both the EU and our partner countries as well as the EU's values, and underlines the important part played by the budgetary guarantees in delivering them under the ‘policy first’ principle as referred above; highlights the importance of ensuring that the guarantees counterbalance the risk involved in the highest-risk countries for investment so that relevant investment is also directed to them; stresses that the EU should lead by example in this regard, in view of the ongoing debate on the reform of multilateral development banks;
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Notes the specific role played by the EIB in the European financial architecture for development, as set out in Article 209 of the TFEU and in Article 36 of the Regulation establishing the Instrument, and acknowledges the EIB’s potential to mobilise additional funding that contributes to the Instrument’s objectives; welcomes the creation of EIB Global, which has been operational since 1 January 2022 and sets out to increase the bank’s presence and expertise in developing countries; notes that, since the setting up of the new development branch, the EIB Global has made record use of the dedicated investment window provided by the Instrument, delivering over EUR 10 billion in 2022, notably in support of Ukraine and the Global Gateway; recalls the importance of the EU budget as the sole guarantor for the EIB’s to provide loans outside the EU in support of EU policies; calls for an increase in the guarantees granted to the EIB by the EU budget in order to allow the EU bank to continue to deliver vital public and private sector operations in Ukraine and to expand its activities in the Global South; calls on the EIB to use its position to mobilise investments for sustainable development in line with the purpose and criteria established by the EFSD+; highlights the important role of the EIB in partnering with the Commission to deliver EUR 100 billion of the EUR 300 billion commitment under the Global Gateway strategy; calls on the EIB to prioritise a sustainable development agenda; calls on the EIB to take higher risk in financing projects with high social returns; calls on the EIB to continue strengthening its presence in the field by building on the current approach of co- location within EU delegations, while further exploiting possible synergies with the EBRD and other European DFIs; encourages the EIB to continue to actively engage in developing planning, monitoring and evaluation at country level, hand in hand with the EU delegations and through co-financing with development finance institutions; calls for stronger coordination between the Commission and the EEAS and EU delegations to facilitate discussions and cooperation with relevant actors on the ground in order to identify projects which best meet development effectiveness objectives;

Welcomes the ‘open architecture’ of the EFSD+, which was established to support private-sector investments, and calls on the Commission, the EIB, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Member States and development finance institutions (DFIs) to fully utilise the options provided by the EAG and the relevant investment windows to promote sustainable private-sector investments; underlines the need to leverage private sector financing, with a particular focus on SMEs, and calls for increased efforts to address bottlenecks and obstacles to investment; recognises additionally the important role of the private sector in generating new investments, employment and financing for development where possible; recalls Parliament's power of scrutiny and the need for transparency in the implementation of the EFSD+;
Amendment 2 #

Amendment 23 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. Stresses the importance of the programming process, underlining the crucial role of the EEAS and EU delegations in this regard, as well as in ensuring the proper inclusion of partner countries and other development actors throughout the process, including by fostering close and transparent consultation of and association with regional and local authorities, in order to identify common priorities and enhance partner countries’
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraphs 21 and 21a (new) 21. Regrets the rushed programming process that took place in the second half of 2021, preventing adequate scrutiny by Parliament; notes with concern the findings of the ECA’s Special Report 14/2023, which concluded that the programming process could be improved; expects the Commission and the EEAS to act on the recommendation made by ECA and draw the lessons learnt for the next programming exercise; calls on the Commission to ensure a more predictable and transparent programming exercise, to develop a standardised, comparable and transparent methodology for allocating funds to neighbourhood countries, to ensure rigorous application for non- neighbourhood countries and to clarify the methodology for assessing the impact of EU’s support and ensure its relevance in a developing geopolitical context; 21a. Welcomes the recent Macro- financial assistances adopted to support several countries and notably Ukraine to face the consequences of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine; regrets the lack of information given to the budgetary authorities on the management of the financing of the interest costs of the MFA; worries that the current financing of the interest costs of the MFA through the mobilisation of the emerging challenges and priorities cushion, rather than through fresh appropriations, risks to exhaust most of it, if not all, for the remaining period, leaving the Instrument with no ability to respond to unforeseen challenges, and therefore, underlines the need to find sustainable long-term financing solutions, while preserving the ability to cope with future challenges;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraphs 22, 22a (new) and 22b (new) 22. Regrets the Commission’s failure to always notify Parliament before the cushion is mobilised and deplores the practice of sending letters that arrive after mobilisation
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraphs 24 and 24a (new) 24. Considers that the current arrangements for reporting on what the EU is doing in any given country, region or thematic area are insufficient and excessively legalistic; calls for pragmatic and swift improvements with regard to updating useful data and for examples of best practices in implementation to be provided to Parliament flexibly and in good time, applying appropriate confidentiality rules where needed; considers the public projects database not to be user friendly and not to help with updated information; underlines that EU investment projects should be subject to evaluation, monitoring and reporting in order to determine their effectiveness and avoid unintended negative impacts; 24a. Calls on the Commission, together with EIB, EBRD and other European DFIs to develop standardised procedures, including ex ante and ex post evaluations and by applying the Commission’s Result Management Framework (ReMF); urges the Commission to publish this Framework and to make sure that DFIs using their own indicators to clearly define them and explain their application and comparability with the ReMF; calls on the Commission to follow-up environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards of all investment projects; calls on the Commission to make the EFSD+ Results Management Framework accessible in order to facilitate scrutiny on progress towards more accountable development finance;
Amendment 27 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 25 25. Requests that the MTE be used to the fullest extent possible in order to update either the Instrument or its delegated acts on priority areas and to reassess the validity of the geographic and thematic MIPs, including more prominent conditions relating to compliance with international law, human rights, rule of law and democracy and alignment with the EU’s foreign policy and the application of the associated suspension mechanism, as a last resort, where the foreign policy of an Instrument beneficiary country diverges completely from EU foreign policy; stresses the importance of increasing the visibility of EU actions, notably for its development cooperation efforts; calls therefore for equipping the EEAS and EU delegations with the tools to develop their strategic communication capabilities to better explain EU actions to decision makers and the general public in third countries, and to counter disinformation; calls on the EU to oppose any support to aggressor states and their policies, in particular the Russian Federation in its war of aggression against Ukraine;
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 26 26. Stresses that the MTE should be accompanied by the necessary legislative changes to the Instrument and the IPA III so that the relevant regulations reflect Ukraine and Moldova’s new status as EU candidate countries, and by a new delegated act setting out the specific objectives and priority areas of cooperation for each region; stresses the importance of providing funding through development financing institutions and EIB that targets access to critical raw materials and related actions on skills, infrastructure and regulatory framework in compliance with EIB’s environmental and social standards, as part of shared planning for the development of renewable energies between Europe and its partners in the context of achieving the SDGs;
Amendment 29 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 27. Considers that the geopolitical challenges that emerged with the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and the growing malign influence and assertiveness of the People’s Republic of China require the Instrument’s budget to be increased considerably; highlights that the challenges are spread all over the world, meaning the EU must increase its geopolitical influence while remaining committed to its values and principles; stresses that it will only be possible to respond to these challenges in a balanced way if the proportion of allocations for each area of the Instrument is kept the same; expresses concern that the EU is losing influence and visibility to alternative offers made by China and Russia; urges the EU to respond to the expectations of and deliver quickly on the political agreements made with partner countries, such as on the Post-Cotonou Agreement, to reinforce its status as a reliable ally in development cooperation and to demonstrate that the international rules-based system can meet contemporary challenges;
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Recitals C and Ca (new) C. whereas due to limited resources, the external financing instruments have often been stretched to their limits; whereas, since the adoption of the Regulation establishing the Instrument, events such as the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine
Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Recitals D, Da (new), Db (new) and Dc (new) D. whereas project implementation under the Instrument cannot yet be evaluated fully, as it is still in its early stages; whereas the MTE expected in 2024 should assess whether the Instrument contributes to the EU’s strategic priorities and effectively promotes its values in partner countries, promotes human rights and contributes to poverty and inequalities reduction along with the promotion of the sustainable development of third countries and whether it is allocated based on third countries’ needs and development strategies; Da. whereas the European Court of Auditors concluded in 2023 that there are deficiencies in the methods for allocating funds and impact monitoring and that the wide scope of the Instrument may limit the impact, and that improvements are needed in the way development aid is allocated and monitored; Db. whereas the Instrument should be used to form closer and more effective partnerships with third countries that deliver tangible results, based on mutual interests, strategic priorities, structured and effective cooperation, and clear-long term goals; whereas EU-Africa and Neighbourhood relations are of particular strategic importance; whereas the Instrument should be used to ensure a fair green transition, promoting local added values and respecting the “do no significant harm principle”; whereas efficiency, effectiveness and the development impact of the Instrument are key indicators to track; Dc. whereas since the adoption of the Instrument, geopolitical competition has evolved and increased; whereas this places the Instrument in a new and more urgent light; whereas the Global Gateway is a response to this challenge, aiming to provide a viable and attractive alternative for partner countries that delivers lasting benefits for local communities; whereas there is a need to better communicate and raise the visibility of EU actions in partner countries; whereas, despite the Global Gateway’s focus on the EU’s geopolitical objectives, the Instrument’s ODA must serve long-term sustainable development in partner countries;
Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Welcomes the Commission
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Underlines the need to review the EU’s external and development policies in
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3.
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Welcomes the consolidation of most of the EU’s external action in a single Instrument, gradually streamlining and harmonising the numerous previous instruments; is of the opinion, however, that although this simplification has enhanced flexibility and efficiency, it has not been accompanied by sufficient levels of effective accountability and transparency; underlines, in this regard, that measures can only be considered effective when this can be proven by clear and comparable monitoring and evaluation mechanisms; recalls the findings of the ECA’s Special Report 14/2023, which points out that, in more than 20% of the sampled indicators, baseline indicators have been missing or unclear and 24% had either no targets or unclear targets, and furthermore data sources in the multiannual indicative programmes (MIPs) were fragmented or missing; calls on the Commission to make the use of ‘Global Europe Results Framework’ (GERF) indicators compulsory, that should be the norm, for measures throughout the entire implementation cycle of MIPs, that is planning, implementation and reporting of results, and to considerably increase EU delegations capacities; emphasises that the Instrument should provide for an efficient, effective, coherent and inclusive implementation, underpinned by the ‘policy first’ principle and in line with the strategic interests and values of the EU and the priorities of partner countries; reiterates its call on the Commission to publish, at least biannually, an aid effectiveness progress report, that consistently includes standardised, comprehensible and comparable indicators, covering joint planning, joint implementation and joint results frameworks; calls on the Commission to present this progress report to Parliament;
