In this context, we are convinced that we need to move away from the post­colonial model towards to a truly European model of development aid. I say this because we know that, in Europe, development policy has been very much shaped by the policies of certain Member States, in view of the post-colonial concerns of those states.
Her er det vores overbevisning, at vi må gå fra et postkolonialt paradigme til et ægte europæisk paradigme for udviklingspolitikken, idet denne som bekendt i den europæiske sammenhæng har været meget præget af nogle medlemsstaters politikker og af disse staters postkoloniale referenceramme.
