"The report makes some reasonable points. I thus support the call for financial compensation for those who have to be resettled as a result of dam projects and welcome the reference to the need for impact assessments when building dams. Such projects can have an enormous impact on neighbouring states and can cause significant damage to the environment. I find no reference to the embezzlement of monetary aid provided for the construction of dams, however. Estimates from Transparency International (TPI) gauge that 70% of the budget set aside for the flood relief authority in Pakistan has been embezzled. Action must be taken to prevent this, rather than continuing with the established practice of providing aid. The report also makes some inadmissible links to climate policy targets that cannot be justified in the context of financial aid for the reinforcement of dams in developing countries. For these reasons, I have decided to abstain from voting."@en1
