"This motion for a resolution on European Union accountability concerning development financing follows oral questions to the Council and the Commission by Ms Striffler, pursuant to Article 115 of the Rules of Procedure, on behalf of the Committee on Development. The current global economic and financial crisis is having a huge impact on developing countries, so there is a need for the EU to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, dedicating 0.7% of gross domestic product in aid to the poorest countries. Public development aid has a fundamental role in securing the survival of many impoverished peoples, with the EU’s contribution representing more than half of all aid. As such, as well as guaranteeing that this aid is granted transparently and effectively, taking into account the real needs of these countries, the EU needs to increase the resources available in the next financial framework. As the credibility of the EU cannot be jeopardised, I am voting for this motion for a resolution as I understand that, with the measures approved, the EU will keep its promises to support to developing countries in line with the MDGs."@en1
