Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Peer Review of Ireland's Development Co-operation Programme: OECD

11:10 am

Ms Karen Jorgensen:

I could not honestly answer that because it has been some time since we reviewed the EU. It is important that all the members participate actively in setting the policy for the Union as a whole through the development committee. I will ask Ms Lopes Fernandes and Ms Faria de Barro to comment because they are from member states that participate in the EU's programme.
