lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as the end of the parliamentary term approaches, we should be very civil to one another, and I note that debating the issue of the World Bank report is a very good initiative. We are also aware that we have an expert in our midst, as Mrs Frassoni is a member of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank. It is quite right, therefore, that we should discuss this issue and endeavour to coordinate the approaches of the EU Member States. Speaking of the World Bank in general terms, it unfortunately appears that, in some respects, it has the worst record when it comes to the management of development projects. When I was in Niger around a month ago, all the parties in Niger had put their work on the Education For All plan in order; except the World Bank. Its management is so concentrated that it does not work. I hope that Mrs Frassoni will be able to address this matter, too, as part of her work with the other members of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank. We know that the World Bank has experience in this area, as it said long ago that it is access to resources of this kind that leads to increased conflicts. We must take its recommendations seriously, therefore. They must serve as a guide in our grants for projects and our decisions on various nations and the degree to which we choose to help them."@en1
