".
The purpose of EU aid is to fight poverty. The greatest proportion of the world’s poor live in Asia. It would therefore be a mistake to transfer EU funds from Asia to Latin America.
Furthermore, we believe that, as proposed by the Commission too, a single regulation for Asia and Latin America with a separate chapter for each of the two regions would be a sound solution. This would help prevent bureaucratic red tape and duplication of effort. Unfortunately, Parliament today voted in favour of two regulations, which will lead to a long drawn-out process involving the Council.
For these reasons, we have voted against Amendments 1 and 2, to the effect that the regulation should be split into two regulations; Amendments 18, 56 and 97 concerning the creation of a Solidarity Fund for Latin America; and Amendments 93 and 94 about transferring financial resources from Asia to Latin America."@en1
