lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we approach the draft budget 2000 with considerable concern, particularly regarding the lines on development and cooperation but also those concerning human rights, as other Members have already said. Indeed, we have the impression that this budget is restricting all those things which are dearest to us. At a time when the requirement is for women to take greater part in the decision-making process, the corresponding budget lines are being restricted. At a time when the wish is for the environment, particularly the protection of tropical forests, to be integrated into the development process, the appropriations allocated to this are being reduced. At a time when developing countries are being asked to respect the principle of good government, with respect for human rights, our own budget on this crucial issue is being drastically reduced. Finally, at the very time when Lusaka is reminding us of the human and economic ravages due to AIDS in Africa, we are reducing the funds dedicated to it, contrary to the Commissioner Nielson’s assertions, while mixing them in with the policy on health and reproduction. Furthermore, we can only regret the re-orientation which involves favouring aid to States rather than to NGOs, especially the organisations of the South which are, however, known to be more effective and which make it possible to really target society. In short, we cannot be satisfied with this new distribution of appropriations which destabilises the priorities of the European Union in developing countries."@en1
