If all European donors and their aid implementers would apply stringent and harmonised QA requirements in their procurement policies, they could contribute to shaping the market of LMICs towards affordable and quality assured products.	./cache/cord-306184-wfvc35l5.txt	./txt/cord-306184-wfvc35l5.txt
