"Developing countries, in particular, the poorest ones already hard hit by the 2007 food crisis, are today suffering the full force of the economic and social consequences of the international financial crisis that began in the developed countries. The latter are now inclined to reduce their development aid to face up to their own difficulties. Developing countries are thus paying twice for the mess caused by unregulated global capitalism. I voted for the Guerrero Salom report, which reminds Europe of its responsibilities and demands respect for the commitments made in relation to official development assistance, in particular, the goal of contributing 0.7% of GDP to this by 2015. By adopting it, Parliament is also calling for the implementation of an international levy on financial transactions to fund development, access to Global Public Goods and the adaptation of poor countries to the challenges of climate change. It supports cancelling the debt of the least developed countries. All of these recommendations are essential as we approach the review of the Millennium Development Goals at the United Nations in September. The European Union has a moral duty to implement these new tools of international solidarity without delay."@en1
