"Poverty eradication is one of the historic objectives of the EU, which is the world’s leading provider of development aid. However, it is time to turn words into action, and that is exactly the purpose of this report, which I supported. We have fallen behind with the Millennium Development Goals, and this House is proposing a strategy for making significant political and economic progress. The political action should make it possible to establish democracy and respect for human rights for the long term. The economic aspect should focus on specific points: targeting funding at basic social services to improve living conditions, supporting micro-enterprises by improving the economic and legal environment, combating unemployment, and coordinating the actions of public and private players to rationalise the distribution of the funds available. It is clear that we will not be able to solve all of the problems at once. We must therefore take things one step at a time, concentrating on actions with the most added value. That is how the EU will make the best possible use of its development aid, a tangible manifestation of the solidarity of European citizens with those who have nothing."@en1
