"The last time I debated with Mr Patten on this subject in committee he accused me of having an overdose of testosterone. I am glad he has not repeated that tonight. Stamina is what we need in dealing with this issue. He is right in saying that there are a number of areas of agreement between the Commission and Parliament, not least in the DAC reporting where progress is such that we very much welcome it. We welcome too their cooperation in relation to the seminar.
I am concerned that the emphasis in his answer was on definitions, about reporting, about statistics – i.e. analysis – rather than the tougher decisions that are equally required to shift resources. It is important that we do not simply talk about the process in terms of information being available – important as that is, and agreed as we are on that issue – but that the Commissioner actually tells us, as those country strategy papers are passed, as the Quality Support Group evaluates new programmes, as delegations (and he did not answer the point about the role of delegations in this) take their decisions, as new staff are recruited, how will he ensure that real resources are allocated in greater number to basic health and basic education? We need to see some shift of resources during the course of this year. Give us some hope that it will happen."@en1
