lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly, from a conceptual point of view, we legitimately wish the new nomenclature for the Budget to be a technical instrument which rationalises it, and not a cunning way to modify the political orientations of Community action. The Committee on Development and Cooperation is therefore, under the heading ‘Development’, restoring the cooperation lines with Asia and Latin America, which had been diverted to the external relations heading. Development policy is not only directed towards the ACP countries, but towards all developing countries with a view to eradicating poverty. Furthermore, Commissioner, we thank you and we congratulate and support you, as well as Mr Nielson, in relation to the budgeting of the EDF. Secondly, our policy for assisting certain groups such as the Saharan people, who for years have been objectively in a situation of humanitarian need, should not be called into question for administrative reasons. And finally, the integration of the gender perspective into the Budget is one of our objectives. With regard to the figures, our priorities are the funding of actions to promote children's rights, funds for combating AIDS and malaria, increasing funds for Latin America and the Mediterranean: between the 2000 Budget and the draft 2004 Budget the funds intended for cooperation with these regions have plummeted; they have been reduced by 10.8% for Latin America (EUR 37.2 million) and 16% for MEDA in real terms (EUR 193.9 million), despite the new priorities for these two regions and the summit which is going to take place. Their reflection in the Budget should not conflict with the ceiling corresponding to us, provided that there is no intention to fund any other new action or initiative through development funds. And it is for this reason that we are also concerned about the reconstruction of Iraq or any other issue which may arise."@en1
