14. Recalls that Union blending should in no circumstances constitute an excuse for diminishing ODA; welcomes the participation of the Parliament in the EU Platform for Blending in External Cooperation (EUBEC) to provide recommendations and guidance with a view to further increase the effectiveness of aid delivered by the Union through blending operations in line with the internationally agreed objectives of the aid effectiveness agenda, particularly the key principles of ownership, alignment, harmonisation and mutual accountability; in particular, recommends, in a context where blending provides an opportunity to support the activities of big Union corporations operating abroad (thereby departing from development objectives), that Parlia ...[+++]ment should be duly informed on the project proposals financed by the blending facilities before decisions are taken by the operational boards; recalls that projects financed through blending should truly contribute to poverty reduction and respect development effectiveness principles; calls on the Commission to use blending only where its added value is demonstrated as highlighted by the Court;

22. Stresses the need to enhance private sector involvement in green infrastructure investments and calls on the Commission and the EIB to quickly establish and make operational a financing facility including innovative financing mechanisms to support green infrastructure investments and other natural capital-related projects, while also assessing real and long-term support for ecosystem functions; points out that further financing sources at local, regional and national level will also need to be explored;

43. Calls for the integration of gender equality as a cross-cutting issue in all climate funds and instruments; stresses that this integration requires gender expertise and should extend to the mission, governance and operational modalities of such financing mechanisms, and that operational modalities and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms should ensure that women and local communities benefit from adequate funding;

38. Considers that the existing Operation Centre, though constituting a welcome first step, falls short of requirements and of the level of ambition of a permanent OHQ and that it must instead be made permanent and put in a position to manage larger missions, that it must be granted adequate staff resources and operational infrastructure and that the unreliability of the EU's communications and information systems infrastructure must be dealt with, the main reason for which is that there is no permanent command and control (C2) structure (and relevant legal framework), a fact which can also adversely affect situational awareness; advoca ...[+++]tes co-location of the military OHQ with the civilian HQ, in order to allow the whole range of military and civilian operations to be carried out, exploiting potential synergistic effects to the full while respecting the distinctive civilian and military chains of command and the different decision-making procedures and financing arrangements;

In this context consideration should be given to funding projects concerning operational action which only one Member State takes forward.
