Coherence of EU Policies
Between intentions and reality: the problem of incoherence
The sub title of this paper characterizes the feelings of many people about the European Union development co-operation: too often, there is a gap between the stated objectives and intentions on the one hand, and reality on the other hand. This paper touches on some of the major areas which relate to EU development co-operation policy, trying to do justice to both the stated intentions and the reality
The lack of coherence between poverty eradication and the European Union's other policies (October 1999)
Introductory text: This study considers three products
- chocolate, fisheries and beef - in the light of the European Union's commitment
to policy coherence, and the procedures that are needed to ensure coherence.
Of particular concern is the way that incoherence in EU policy has damaged
the livelihoods of some of the world's poorest people.
The study ends with firm recommendations.
