Committee on European Union Affairs
Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Celia Cranfield:
We have seen, for instance, during the Belgian Presidency that Belgium is cutting its ODA overall but is very interested in what happens in targeting fragile contexts. That is one I like to work with. Spain has a new law that enshrines the 0.7% and would be very much in line. Denmark has its own particular priorities but it is also very committed to the 0.7% and brings a particular interest to making sure that the climate aspects are dealt with properly. Then there a number of others behind the scenes. Portugal is one as well. There are a few. I am sure the Department can tell the committee more.
