lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, the burden of avoidable disability and disease in developing countries should weigh heavily on our conscience: when a child develops a disabling parasitic disease from contaminated water because its mother cannot afford two tablespoons of bleach to add to the family’s bucket of drinking water; when a child develops HIV from the shared needles used by aid agencies; or when a man or woman is disabled by dangerous exploitative work that creates cheap consumer goods for us. We are so well, healthy and rich. We must give something back and more. We must not take from poorer countries in destructive and disabling ways. We like to put provisos in our aid packages. The proviso we need to include in aid packages is that aid should include people with disabilities and funded projects should include schemes designed to meet their special needs and open up new and equal opportunities. We must include enablement in all our approaches to development in developing countries. And I would remind you that disability is, in itself, still an area for development within the EU."@en1
