lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs Kinnock's thorough report, with which we are in agreement, states that achievement of the Millennium Development Goals will require a change of system, a change involving the governments of countries in both the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as international financial institutions. We need to overturn the rules of international trade, rejecting the imposition of trade agreements and indiscriminate liberalisation and, instead, support fair trade and a culture based on rights – the right of access to education, water, food and healthcare. Today is the start of the Global Week of Action to deliver those rights and control international trade, and there are people here in Parliament, today, who are emphasising that need. It is not the first time that the United Nations and the international community have attempted to launch a programme to eradicate poverty. However, there have been 15 years of broken promises, while the aim of devoting 0.7% of the GDP of more developed countries to the poor nations is still a remote one. Mrs Kinnock is right when she says that the policy of Italy – my country – is shameful; I share her view, although I believe that the UK’s involvement in the Iraq war is also shameful. The EU and the Member States must not fail in their moral responsibilities and obligations. Alternative sources of finance must be discussed. We must prevent spurious accounting, avoid expenditure on security being classed as development spending and stop budget figures being inflated by debt cancellation measures. The debt must be cancelled. True development cooperation can be achieved by equipping those countries with the infrastructure and tools needed for them to organise their own economic and social development. Human rights, gender, the environment, children’s rights: the issues have all been identified."@en1
