untying of development aid

Community aid has already reached a high level of untying as it is already completely untied to the 15 Member States, and partially untied to the Candidate Countries, the Members of the European Economic Agreement, and to most developing 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 tax ...[+++]payers), and of the evolution of aid flows.

Those include issues such as the positive impact of untying on country ownership and the impact on the ability of developing country companies to participate and compete effectively in a fully untied market for the procurement of goods and services for development purposes.

At the high-level meeting of the OECD-DAC, the Commission undertook to apply the spirit and objectives of the DAC's recommendation on untying aid (the untying is limited to the least-developed countries (LDCs), but DAC members are called upon to apply it as extensively as possible).
