On 29 June, the European Commission publishes a Communication on the EU Multi-Annual Financial Framework post 2013, which will include proposals affecting EU development cooperation. This will mark the beginning of a negotiation process with EU Member States and the European Parliament. To inform the debate, the European Think-Tanks Group, composed of DIE (Bonn), ECDPM (Maastricht), FRIDE (Madrid) and ODI (London), has published a joint paper reviewing the landscape of EU development cooperation, which is marked by major questions around the comparative advantage of a Europe-wide-approach to development assistance and the role of the EU in the future global aid architecture. The authors propose and analyse a set of options for the EU external action instruments.
