"For us Liberals, investment in developing countries is dear to our hearts. We welcome new ways to get funds to aid-assisted countries, but we would like to make it clear that we do not believe that a tax on international financial transactions is the solution that will enable us to meet the Millennium Development Goals or correct global imbalances. It is also important to point out that it will only be possible to implement such a tax if it is a global tax. We would instead like to emphasise the importance of the EU Member States meeting the current commitments with regard to levels of aid that have been set. In order to generate development and growth in developing countries, we ought to promote free trade and abolish the EU’s various direct and indirect barriers to trade."@en1
