lpv:translated text	". No one doubts the role of education in reducing poverty. The problem lies in how to safeguard the access to education of hundreds of millions of children, how can education be made to serve development. The Commission communication and the report by the Committee on Development and Cooperation, despite the positive findings and proposals, are no more than a wish list. Even if, as proposed, aid is increased, it is just crumbs, a philanthropic gesture, in the face of the real needs of developing countries. The development of the grass-roots movement against globalisation and poverty has resulted in frequent discussion of the situation in developing countries. The ΕU wants to show that it is listening to the protests, that it is interested in combating poverty, in order to improve its image in the eyes of the people, in order to wipe out old and new crimes. However, there is no discussion of who is responsible, nothing is heard about the consequences of long-term colonialism or of how natural wealth continues to be plundered and people robbed. The attempt, through the WTO, to impose terms which benefit big business is undiminished. Nothing is said about foreign debt. The Communist Party of Greece does not believe in the charity of the ΕU. It is the fight of the peoples itself which will get them out of poverty and lead them to development."@en1
