"Mr President, it is always a pleasure to welcome a consensus and a good result. I therefore join my fellow Members in doing so. Balance has at last been restored. We have a common legal instrument, expiring in 2013, and we have a mid-term review. We have an appropriate instrument at last. We have avoided confusing different terms: no mention is made of industrialised countries or human rights; only development is referred to. We are able to set clear objectives and point out our political priorities. We have, at last, an instrument that, as my fellow Members have highlighted, has its legal base in Article 179, which reintroduces the codecision procedure. Never again will the European Parliament be unable to co-decide on a development policy. We have at last managed to ensure that the financial allocations are linked to different programmes, in order to increase our control. I would therefore like to highlight the work of our rapporteur, Mr Mitchell, and the attention given to this matter by the Commission and the Council. Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, we have taken due note of the Commission’s commitments regarding our role during the mid-term review and relating to the rational anchoring of finances, to the dialogue on strategy papers and, as I would like to point out, to our priorities, namely health and education. To conclude, I believe that our Parliament will have no problem in adopting this report and in adopting it unamended. I will not waste your time by discussing these amendments, which are certainly out of touch and backward-looking and absurd in every way."@en1
