Dear Sir,

I would be greatful if you could explain (by using maybe some examples?) what is the connection between global development and Europe’s strength? How will reducing poverty in ACPs and other developing countries influence our economy and politics?

Mr. Piebalgs, I am glad to have found your blog, somehow I haven’t seen it before. When the International Women’s Day was a socialist parody celebrating everything but women (the proper name would have been Drunken Men’s Day in fact) only 21 years ago, I wouldn’t have believed at that time that today my country will be a part of the European Union and I will read about its commissioner’s plan on women empowerment. Your blog is really interesting and its wide range of topics shows that development, even though officially only one of the twenty seven prortfolios, is all-encompassing. Thanks!

Gabriel Svoboda, Czechia

P.S. Since I am a citizen of the European Union, not of an Anglo-European Union nor of La Eurofrancophonie, I am going to post Latin translations of the most important thoughts of your posts. A great deal of Europeans speak don’t speak English or French, but Latin words are our heritage common to all European languages. Hopefully it will be found appropriate; if not, never mind.

As a women myself I would like to express some reflections on OUR rights… As long as we are talking about women in Europe there are, of course, a lot of problems regarding gender equality such as unequal sallaries for men and women.
But that is really nothing in compare to what women in Asia have to deal with. I believe women empowerment is presently one of the key issues European Union should concentrate on regarding development policies… I hope that al the plans and projects will be effective and soon we will be able to see some results and receive a good feedback.
I agree that we, Europeans, MUST work harder in order to fulfil our promises.

Mr Piebalgs, congrats on the new appointment. As a European Citizen I look forward for changes in the way the EU develops development around the world. Certainly we need a change from the heavy-handed approach we have experienced in the past few years. Need a cultural change and one hopes you will bring this about. Good luck.
