1. A large percentage to Middle Income
Countries/MICs (over 50%).
2. Some EU ODA – aid to ‘the neighbourhood’
– is not primarily geared towards global
development norms (poverty reduction/HD
focus).
3. The EU’s aid and trade link: a mixed
blessing.
‘Repatriation’ of aid to national level would
not be a good thing in a time of crisis (some
EU member states may be tempted to distort
aid radically for selfish purposes).
EU aid is reliable.
EU aid is less vulnerable to radical distortions.
As the major trading entity the EU is an
appropriate vehicle for aid.
