"I want to congratulate Mr Kaczmarek on his report, as it makes it clear that we need to continue and strengthen our development policy. Faced with a financial crisis in Europe, it is all too tempting to decrease or even abandon our commitments. However, if we followed that path, we would only make the crisis worse. Today, we see ever increasing waves of economic migrants coming to Europe. They come because they cannot build a quality life for themselves in their countries of origin. Without development aid, this would only increase further. It is fully in our interest to help these nations to develop, as it means more trade with Europe, more sharing of information and greater mutual understanding. Development aid is also crucial for the realisation of our goal of promoting democracy. However, it has to be targeted properly and focus on development, not merely support. We must honour our commitments to the Millennium Development Goals. Thank you."@en1
