DEVELOPMENT BUZZ
The buzz from European Development Days
By Adva Saldinger, Richard Jones
Three key themes emerged from discussions and debate on the first day
at European Development Days in Brussels — the flagship event of the
European Year of Development 2015.
This year's forum comes at a key moment, in advance of the third
International Conference on Financing for Development in July in Addis
Ababa, the post-2015 agenda setting in September in New York, and
December's climate negotiations in Paris.
What was the buzz among the 6,000 global development professionals
gathered in Brussels this week? Here's an insider look.

Sounding off on the proposed INGO law in China
Today marks the deadline for public comment on the proposed legal
measure governing foreign nongovernmental organizations operating in
China.
Not surprisingly, affected groups, already struggling to navigate
the country's political landscape, have raised concerns.
The new law calls on foreign NGOs operating in China to uphold the
country's national unity, security, interests and customs.
To some experts, this suggests that the government is wary of these
organizations' efforts that might introduce and promote foreign values
to their beneficiaries, noted Devex reporter Lean Alfred Santos in an
in-depth feature.
The biggest concerns for international NGOs in China include the law's
vague definition of an "overseas NGO," lack of clarity on the sectors
they can work in and the additional procedures for registration and
acquiring legal recognition.
Devex readers expressed varying opinions on the issue.
