"I spoke in our plenary meeting in Luxembourg all those years ago in support of the first Live Aid event. Today we have just seen the enormous upwelling of support again following Live 8 for Making Poverty History. Yet politicians have failed to deliver, with almost a billion people in the world living on less than one euro a day. Words are not enough; we need action. The Globalisation Intergroup in Parliament, which I chair, has over 100 members. We commit ourselves to pursuing fair trade and further aid here in Parliament. This will require enormous resources. We believe one source will be through promoting a capital transfer tax. France and Belgium have already passed the necessary legislation and Italy is considering the same. I call on all other Member States to look urgently to emulating them and, in doing so, to raise enough funds to provide basic housing, healthcare, sanitation and education for all those living on less than one euro a day."@en1
