lpv:translated text	"Where is our money disappearing to in Afghanistan? I am pleased with the motion for a resolution on a new strategy for Afghanistan. The report highlights very well the many problems affecting that country. There is no military solution for Afghanistan, something the report also states. If the troops have not been able to bring peace to Afghanistan, neither has the money that we have poured in. The report even says that between 2002 and 2009, more than USD 40 billion in international aid was channelled into the country. Of this 40 billion, just six billion went to the Afghan Government, the remaining 34 billion being channelled into the country from elsewhere. As much as 70 to 80% of this aid never got to its intended recipients, the Afghan people. Furthermore, the costs of the war in Afghanistan over the period 2001­2009 amounted to more than USD 300 billion. However, these enormous sums of money are not doing the Afghan people any good. Instead, it is, for example, the arms industry, mercenaries and international companies that get to benefit from the money spent in Afghanistan. It is important that the report actually highlights this unsatisfactory state of affairs."@en1
