The EU ‘Spring Package’ on development is the first major policy statement by the new Development Commissioner, Andris Piebalgs. Does it mark new strategic leadership? Does it suggest the Commissioner will take political risks? Will it excite and challenge the Member States? Will it enable the EU to lead the way at the UN MDG Summit in September?

Over the coming weeks, as EU policy-makers finalise the arrangements for the functioning of the European External Action Service (EEAS), their choices will have an indirect but no less important effect on the EU’s ability to live up to its potential as a constructive proactive and effective actor on the international stage. It remains to be seen how prominent development will be in the new set-up, and whether the architecture will help to promote coherent EU external action. Will development have more leverage over other areas than before, so as to ensure real development effectiveness rather than just aid effectiveness?
