"I voted in favour of this report, because I support the pursuit of a major objective of development policy, namely the reduction of poverty. The Member States have an important responsibility and must stick to their commitments here; we need to remind them of this again. Even though the progress made up to now is encouraging, especially the increased school attendance of poor children or the fight against malaria and tuberculosis, considerable effort still needs to be made so that everyone’s commitments between now and 2015 can be honoured, and this is despite the current context of the crisis. I also support the introduction of a tax on currency transactions and transactions in derivatives, as well as the reduction of the burden of debt on developing countries and the cancellation of the debt burden of the least advanced countries. Finally, I also voted in favour of several amendments that aim to develop measures in the field of sexual and reproductive health, because they are essential in the fight against AIDS and the reduction of maternal mortality. These are measures that must not be ignored."@en1
