lpv:translated text	"Madam President, budgets are about priorities and for the Committee on Regional Development and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, pride of place among these goes to the Millennium Objectives. One in five people worldwide have no access to basic education or basic health care, and the chasm is growing every day despite all the pledges by Heads of Government. Europe is the world’s largest donor and can make the difference. That is why we are not asking for more funds in the first instance, but we are asking, within the EU’s aid budget, for priority to be given to the Millennium Objectives. At least 35% of the budget should be spent on these, at least 20% of which should go to basic education and basic health care. Within the various geographical budget lines, we have set aside 20% for those two sectors, and we will not hand this over to the Commission until they have shown us specific plans for basic education and basic health care in those regions. In 2003, only 2.3% of the development budget was spent on education and 5.2% on health care. That is unacceptable. Today, with the help of the Committee on Budgets, we want to bring the Millennium Objectives closer. ‘Make poverty history’."@en1
