EU Accountability report on Financing for Development 2011

EU Accountability report 2011
The report, published the 19 April 2011, confirms that in general the EU as a whole has kept up progress delivering on its pledges, although the situation differs greatly between issues and Member States.
For the first time, as a step to increase transparency and accountability of EU, all Member States have agreed to the publication of their replies to the annual questionnaire on financing for development.
It covers previous year's efforts by the EU and its 27 Member States to:
• Promote good governance in tax matters and fight illegal financial flows.
• Support international trade and mobilise private investments, remittances and other private flows for development.
• Increase aid and climate finance in line with commitments.
• Spend aid effectively, support debt sustainability in developing countries and create a more conducive international architecture for development.
