"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, our colleague, Mr Mitchell, is a recognised expert in the Committee on Development. That is why his report is so well drafted, and I thank him.
I would just like to emphasise one small point: respect for the principle of subsidiarity. The greatest gift that we can give is not money. It is widely known that the Union uses its budget to impose its Western values and standards on developing countries. We have a duty to demand respect for human rights, but the future depends on respect for the right of nations to self-determination. We in the West need to respect their values and cultures while providing financial assistance."@en1
