lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner has made it clear that in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, we need a significant increase in ODA – official development assistance, which I would, in fact, prefer to call ‘funding for official development cooperation’. I think it is also important to congratulate those countries which are fulfilling the target of spending 0.7% of GDP on development cooperation. We should also congratulate countries such as Belgium, Finland, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, which have pledged to achieve this target by 2013. I myself come from a Member State that is not high-ranking in this respect. Austria and Italy are at the bottom of the league table as far as ODA is concerned. That is the reason for my question to the European Commission and the Council: what specific forms of cooperation and monitoring are envisaged so that the countries at the bottom of the table and the middle-rankers catch up with the front-runners, thus ensuring that enough public funding is available to deliver Europe's contribution to fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals?"@en1
