11. Supports the Commission proposal to extend untying aid for developing countries on horizontal and geographical budget headings, and stresses the extension of untying to all developing countries, to non-ACP developing countries and to the least developed countries in particular; calls, therefore, in line with the Commission's proposal and in the interests of the greater effectiveness of aid, for all developing countries to be covered by the present communication and by future legislation on the untying of EU aid;

11. Supports the Commission proposal to extend untying aid on behalf of the developing countries on horizontal and geographical budget headings, and calls for and calls for the extension of untying to all developing countries, to non-ACP developing countries and to the least developed countries in particular; calls therefore, in line with the Commission and in the interests of the greater effectiveness of aid for all developing countries to be covered by the present communication and by future legislation on the untying of EU aid;

6. Recognises that the untying of food aid may be attained in stages - implying a transitional period - without compromising the underlying principle of untying of all Community aid; underlines the necessity to also untie technical aid which represents an ever increasing part of ODA;

The Commission’s position, in arguing for the total untying of aid, should be interpreted with caution since the necessary reports and analyses on the ultimate effects of untying do not at present exist.

1. Endorses the approach for untying of EC aid based on three priorities to be pursued: regional integration and across regions, institutional and capacity building, and avoidance of distortion of competition between donors and recipient countries; endorses equally the principle of reciprocity as well as the co-operation with relevant international organisations in applying the proposal of untying to all EC aid to third countries;

Additional issues are the effect of full untying - including among all developed and developing countries - on the development of local markets in developing countries; the potential existence of a marginal degree of untying i.e. a certain degree of openness above which there are only marginal gains; the impact of tied aid such as the granting of aid linked to additional policies for which the supplies are exclusively produced in the donor country. We are also not entirely clear about possible effects of untying in terms of balancing the effort amongst donors, of influencing the level of support by public opinion ( ...[+++]in particular the taxpayers), and of the evolution of aid flows.
