Highlights - Structured dialogue with Commissioner Síkela on the Commission Work Programme - Committee on Development
On Tuesday 8 April, the Members of the Committee on Development will meet Commissioner Síkela for his first Structured Dialogue on the Commission Work Programme, in line with the Framework Agreement between the European Parliament and the European Commission.This annual dialogue is the opportunity to comment on the implementation of the current Commission Work Programme and to formulate expectations the following one. It is also an occasion to follow up on the commitments made during the Commissioner's hearing last year and to convey any other political messages related to the state of EU development policy.
The scaling-up of the Global Gateway strategy, the preparation of the next long-term budget, the definition of an integrated EU approach to fragility, and the implementation of the Joint Vision 2030 with Africa ahead of 7th African Union-European Union Summit later this year are of particular interest to DEVE Members, in the current context of drastic reductions in cooperation aid programmes by the US administration, and a broader trend of declining ODA also from EU Member States.
The outcome of this debate will form part of the Summary Report, which the Conference of Committee Chairs will adopt in June.
