lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a debate about Europe’s commitment to worldwide respect for human rights in a UN context would not be complete without it being stated that one in five people, mainly women, still have no access to food, water, health care or basic education. I consider this to be a worldwide violation of human rights. The Millennium Goals are the concrete objectives to which Heads of Government across the world have committed themselves in a UN context in a bid to improve that situation. Five years after this ambitious plan, we have to conclude that those objectives are a long way from being met. By 2015, all children, and girls in particular, should be attending school. That, in practice, appears to be an empty shell. The right to development is being denied to many. It is now up to the EU finally to deliver on those Millennium Goals in the spirit of putting your money where your mouth is. Most Member States are a long way off the 7% mark of development cooperation. The European Union is still a long way from meeting its pledge to spend 20% of the development budget on basic education and basic health care. When we come to set down the financial perspectives for 2007-2013 – which involve billions – it is these that we should make into the real human rights issues. If those objectives are met, 500 new people can escape from extreme poverty, more than three hundred million people can live without hunger, thirty million children can be saved from premature death, two million fewer mothers will die in child birth, one hundred million more girls and young women will be able to attend school. That is respect for human rights."@en1
