Ian Hudghton (Greens/EFA) - I welcome this report which lays down some important principles for post-2015 global development.
Despite our own ongoing economic problems, the EU remains one of the world's economic powerhouses and it is vital that international development objectives are not sidelined. The EU's efforts compliment smaller initiatives such as the Scottish Government's International Development Fund and the issues detailed in this report will help ensure these efforts remain effective.
