"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we have mixed feelings to some degree when we look at the history of NEPAD. Even if our fellow-Member’s report is positive – and we can endorse it on the whole – recent experience still leads us to have some doubts. The NEPAD story was the response of the African leaders to the globalisation of the world economy. This is understandable, because Africa is, in many ways, at risk of becoming the continent that is losing out while everyone else uses it to stock up on supplies. It bears witness to vision, but it also has the disadvantage of being a big plan that has not been developed from the bottom up. A major fear is that NEPAD will eventually lead to the enrichment of those who are already rich and the challenge is to see the NEPAD story not as contravening the millennium objectives, such as halving the number of poor who have to survive on less than 1 dollar. This is an issue that cannot be solved with large trade flows, because trade has never guaranteed truly fair distribution."@en1
