lpv:translated text	"All the Christian Democratic proposals by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats having been, in principle, adopted in plenary, thereby considerably improving the content of the report, I have voted in favour of the latter in the final vote. The fight against poverty is the main objective of EU development policy. History shows that state monopolies have often led to economic inefficiency, mismanagement, corruption and injustice in developing countries. Particularly in the case of services for the benefit of everyone, such as the supply of water and energy, together with education and health, the state sector has failed in the majority of these countries. Reforms in this sector can therefore contribute to improvements and growth. Through a number of amendments by ourselves in the PPE-DE Group, this is clearly shown by the report. The report is therefore in line with the Commission’s assessment that the fight against poverty can only seriously be taken up through the objective consideration of all the alternatives for reform with a view to increasing economic growth and countering corruption. Monopoly situations, be they public or private, must be replaced by competition and diversity with a view to increased fairness and better economic management. Clear legal framework regulations must stand as guarantees of the right to services for the benefit of all. Small enterprises can operate as important engines of growth in the developing countries and should therefore be supported financially and through technical aid."@en1
