Arvidsson, Cederschiöld, Grönfeldt Bergman, Stenmarck and Wachtmeister (PPE-DE ),
in writing.
(SV)
We in the Moderate Party have always been of the view that non-profit-making organisations are more efficient than state organisations at the job of combating destitution and hardship in the non-industrialised world. Earmarked funds are, as a rule, made better use of through such arrangements.
The same reasoning naturally applies also to the EU’s development work and reciprocal cooperation with developing countries. We have therefore voted in favour of the report. Organisations receiving EU aid must nonetheless be selected objectively and without bias.
