European Development Commissioner Andris Piebalgs welcomed on 9 April 2013 the new European Report on Development (ERD) on how global action can best support the efforts of the poorest countries in achieving development.

The ERD 2013, entitled 'Post 2015: Global Action for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future', comes just over a month after the publication of EU's proposal for the development framework once the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) come to an end in 2015.

This independent report argues that, while impetus for development lies primarily at the domestic level, an enabling international environment in which to pursue their development agenda is also essential for developing countries. The report also advocates that strong international collective action is therefore fundamental, and identifies potential key drivers of a global partnership.
