"The European Union’s commitment to development is one of the main characteristics of an outward-looking integration process. Despite the difficulties experienced by various Member States, which have motivated several of them to reduce the aid they provide, I would like the EU to maintain its efforts to cooperate with the worst-off peoples and countries. However, I also believe that this aid should be subject to greater transparency, and that it should be channelled towards the people that really need it and scrutinised, not only by the donors, but also by the peoples and parliaments of the countries in receipt of aid. I disagree with the rapporteur on the possibility of instituting a financial transaction tax in order to fund the Member States and boost development aid. I believe that the spread of this measure requires further study and that the potential negative consequences justify particular caution regarding its implementation."@en1
