"Mr President, Mrs Kinnock is right. Africa does not need more weapons. The strategy shows that more needs to be done. Development policy will never succeed if it is sabotaged by trade policy. I also wish to caution against exaggerated confidence that foreign capital and companies will solve Africa’s problems. We must support the development of locally owned industry whose profits stay in Africa. It is important for them to be given complete freedom to choose the ways in which they wish to develop, free from pressure and the forced opening up of markets. They must themselves decide what is in their interests. A coherent strategy involving trade, development cooperation and support for democracy is required in order to give Africa that opportunity.
That also applies to our research policy. I would ask you to support the demands for the Seventh Framework Programme for Research to be used to increase research into the quite forgotten tropical diseases which kill millions of people each year."@en1
