lpv:translated text	". Mr President, as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Development and Cooperation, I would like first of all to say that the European Parliament has scored a major victory in as much as the cuts in the Latin American, Asian and African poverty programmes have been made good. I would particularly like to extend warm thanks to the Commission and the Council for this. Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Balkans should be regarded as pillars of equal standing in our external policy and not played off against each other. This must shortly find expression – as is clear from the debate – in the multiannual programme. Secondly, it gives me great pleasure to note that there is support from the whole of Parliament, right across the political spectrum, for the concrete objectives for tackling poverty, as have been proposed by the Committee on Development and Cooperation in the 2001 budget, partly on the basis of the historical data provided by the European Commission; in particular, the doubling of the budgets for basic education and healthcare in the regional programmes for Latin America, Asia, Africa and the European Development Fund, amounting to a total of around EUR five million, is a huge step forwards. Output instead of input. We are counting on robust instructions and spending from the European Commission, in line with these objectives. I would like to thank Mrs Haug most sincerely."@en1
