lpv:translated text	". I am of the opinion that overcoming poverty is not primarily a matter of increased financial resources, but that it must be seen in a completely different context. In the 1960s, Gunnar Myrdal, the Swedish economist, published a book called in which he talked about an atmosphere of pessimism. At the same time, an optimistic atmosphere prevailed in Africa, because Africa had far greater resources than the Asian countries. The situation today is completely the opposite. The doctrine of Afro-pessimism is spreading, while a number of Asian countries are moving forward. This results from the behaviour of the leaders, and it relates to the cultural underpinnings, as Africa has been dominated by tribal structures which subsequently achieved political power. It also relates to the quality of the institutions. I must say that this comparison between Africa and Asia gives a pointer as to the direction European Union policy should be taking in the field of development aid, in order to ensure that the available resources are being used appropriately in the interests of economic growth."@en1
