Scope
Does the option affect EU foreign policy and EU/EC development policy?[1]
Definition
The European Union faces global responsibilities and challenges. The EU is the largest trading block in the world, the largest donor of humanitarian and development assistance and a constant point of reference for others on stability, democracy and human rights.[1]
The Community's development policy is the tangible expression of Europe's solidarity with poor countries and embodies also fundamental values such as democracy and human rights and the principle of participation. It is firmly rooted in the belief that all people, women and men, should be empowered to play their role as effective actors in the development process and that all countries should be empowered to participate in global governance. On this basis, DG Development strives to promote effective multilateralism, equitable international relations and gives priority to the interests of the most disadvantaged people in the developing world.
