". This report is one that, naturally, I voted in favour of. The battle against corruption around the world is an essential objective for the good governance of all members of the international community, and in turn, a key factor in peace and development. Quite apart from ethical and economic considerations, there is a salient point that makes the fight against corruption on a world scale a key factor in international relations. Countries with corrupt governments are governed by rules, criteria and interests that are incompatible with those of sustainable development, cooperation and peace. To tackle them is to tackle one of the causes of conflict and poverty. It is not enough, however, for us merely to sign up to conventions of this nature. What is needed is for this fight to form part of our criteria for action at international level, not least in the area of cooperation in which the EU plays such a significant role. That is why I voted in favour."@en1
