"Mr President, the disinterested observer can immediately see several problems with the EU’s plans for the EFSD. Firstly, these funds appear to be nothing more or less than a means of using taxpayers’ money to expand the EU’s regional hegemony. The two regional platforms, one for Africa and one for what is ominously termed the ‘EU Neighborhood’, offer for the purported recipients nothing more than serfdom. The funds come with strings attached, which means there will be strategic boards imposed upon the clients, with Commission and EIB representation. This means, as always with EU largesse, that those who are supposed to benefit have their hands tied and are reduced in their own nations to the role of supplicant. This is surely wrong from the start.
The second major issue one can immediately spot is that citizens’ money is expected to leverage private investments, essentially throwing taxpayers’ money down a well. Please stop treating other people’s money with such contempt."@en1
