". – Mr President, I am delighted to follow Mr Colom i Naval's excellent speech. I am speaking also on behalf of my colleague, Mr Wijkman, who is not here. The Committee on Development and Cooperation is very concerned that the EDF is still not budgeted. There is now something called the Joint Parliamentary Assembly of the ACP and EU, the only parliamentary assembly in the world which does not look at a budget. It is quite ridiculous that this state of affairs should be allowed to continue.
If we are going to implement sectoral targets in the development budget then we need to move towards a budget which can have result-oriented strategy included in the budget itself so that the country strategies that the Development Commission is trying to put into place can decentralise and give greater control to our delegations. Otherwise we have an old-fashioned budget looking at a new model of economic management.
Another thing I would like to mention is information technology and sustainable energy in the development budget. Transport and communication has been old-fashioned stuff that has been put in the budget year after year, but there are new technologies that we also need to take into account.
Finally, a global fund for the combating of Aids needs to be considered in our budget. Just asking the chemical companies and pharmaceutical companies to cut prices is not enough."@en1
