This complexity is further increased in multidonor and multi-recipient projects (e.g. where projects are being administered and/or funded by different agencies), resulting in a multiplicity of expenditure, accounting and reporting databases (Turner 2008). This lack of clarity has, in addition to its technical challenges, a strong political dimension as well. The definitional problems in the wider AfT debate are prevalent within discussion of TRA — so much so that, within the European Union’s own AfT strategy, one of the document’s ‘quantitative ambitions’ (and the only substantive mention of addressing TRA needs) is to ‘seek to establish a common understanding of the notion of “trade-related adjustment” at [the] EU level, in conjunction with promoting an international understanding of this concept’ (Council of the European Union 2007: 5).
