On EU's 12-point action plan for 2020: global governance

On Monday, the HoC European Select Committee met to discuss the EU's Millenium Development Goals (MDG) for 2020 - in particular, the 12-point plan laid out in addenda 1-5 of EU document 8910/10.

A transcript of the meeting can be found here.

A copy of the 12-point plan can be found here, but I've not been able to locate addenda 1-5, which the meeting was specifically called to discuss. Do you know where they are?

During that meeting, various points were raised in connection with 'international development aid', which involves pushing developing governments to get more children into schooling and more people into 'health care' - oh, and "regional integration".

Schooling and health care are, of course, the very means by which Britain was socialised and by which America is being forcibly socialised.

Well, you could've knocked me down with a feather when Mark Lazarowicz and 'Mr' O'Brien had this little dialogue:

Mark Lazarowicz:  "I have another supplementary question on progress. It refers to the issue listed as point 12 on page 25. I see that the Commission has raised the issue of global governance. It recommends:

“a swift and adequate implementation of the increases in developing and transition countries’ voting shares in the World Bank and IMF; work towards a single European seat as an ultimate objective and strengthen EU coordination, particularly with regional development banks.”"

What is the Government’s position on that and what progress has been made towards that objective? Is it supported by the Government within the European Union?

Mr O'Brien: In advance of my specific answer, the Hon. Gentleman will be aware that when I was in opposition, I repeatedly argued, under many guises, that in terms of discussions on global governance or other issues considered by any of the international forums in which so many of the developing countries are not only encouraged to take part but are very much constitutionally part of, it has been difficult for those countries to have the capacity to match their arguments with those advanced by the developed world. The developing countries lack the funded research and the evidence base available to the developed world. For that reason, we will be pursuing the launch of an advocacy fund—I am sure the hon. Gentleman has already picked up on that—so that a more equal playing field is established that enables those countries to match the developed world’s level of representation.

In relation to point 12 on page 25 of the Committee’s bundle, that is not part of the final Council conclusions. Given how the hon. Gentleman framed the question, and rather than go through the arguments, I basically need to say that it is a red line for us. Therefore we do not wish to see it transgressed.

Wow. So the EU wants global governance by 2020, a single EU seat at the IMF and for developing countries to have equal representation to those of the developed (at the IMF).

All this is to achieved by bearing 'gifts' of aid, provided that it's spent on state education, state health care, gender equality issues (i.e., breaking up the family) and other Marxist tools - and more regional integration.

I bet those developing countries don't know what's in store for them.  See what else MDG 8910/10 says:

FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT — ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT 2010

This report monitors the EU's commitments on financing for development, particularly Member State progress against their ODA targets. The report also covers other financing issues such as: improved revenue mobilisation by developing countries through taxation and public financial management; remittances; innovative sources; and strengthening global financial governance.

I guess developing countries are about to be offered shedloads of loans - to be paid for by their 'improved revenue mobilisation through taxation'.

The slow motion car crash of Argentina's finances and autonomy is about to go global.
