Politics of the European Union too often have damaging consequences for developing countries. Their interests are not taken into account when European policy makers and politicians make decisions. Policies on trade, agriculture, migration or fisheries undermine the development objectives as set by the European Union. Efforts in development cooperation and sustainability are pointless then. Fair Politics EU wants to change that and give developing countries a fair chance at development.

Policy Coherence for Development in the spotlight
Since the EU has committed itself to Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) in 2005, it reports on progress and sets new goals in the biennual PCD report that was presented during the European Development Days in Stockholm in October.
Of course Fair Politics has been following these developments. Besides a contribution to the alternative report on PCD by CONCORD, Fair Politics has published its own reaction to the communication and the report of the Commission.
Has Policy Coherence improved and created benefits to developing countries? And what does the new report say about remaining incoherent and unfair policies, such as highlighted in our case studies? Find out more here!
