lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to begin by congratulating both the rapporteur from the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities and the rapporteur from the Committee on Development and Cooperation for the work they have done in connection with this report. I think that the 20 or 21 amendments tabled at first reading show very well the cooperation there has been between these two committees. They have been an inspiration to each other. The Commission has adopted 20 out of 21 proposals, which is to be welcomed. I naturally find it annoying that we have not been able to increase the budget from EUR 9 million to EUR 11 million but, in line with other rapporteurs, I accepted that, if we wanted to conclude matters now, we should have to conclude with a figure of EUR 9 million for the appropriation for the next three years. It was the only opportunity we had to complete things and get matters under way. In common with others, I attached greater importance to this than to having the budget increased, partly because the previous funds have not been used. That being said, I think, in a way, that EUR 9 million is too small an amount when we consider what it really is we are up against. We often talk about the EU being an economic superpower in the world, which is what it in fact is, but it can safely be said that we are positively prehistoric in the area of development. Overall, we are clearly the world’s biggest provider of aid, and it is therefore important, of course, that we debate the basic principles upon which development work is based. Gender equality is one of the areas concerned, and a very important area too. It is a that if we too do not combat female poverty, we shall simply not succeed in getting development under way. There is reason for hoping that what we have before us may be a stimulus to such development. In itself, it is not of course enough, but it can hopefully act as a catalyst, in the way described."@en1
