lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, the European Union must play a leading role in ensuring that the Millennium Development Goals are attained. Ever since the Monterrey Conference in 2002 and the United Nations Summit in September 2005, the international community has recognised the need to rise to the challenge of development by executing a common policy integrating the Millennium Goals. At a time when the gap between the North and the South is ever widening and when the growing prosperity of industrialised countries is plunging many countries of the South back into poverty, it is high time the involvement of the international community took the form of practical measures. While the European Union is the main donor, it must do more today; it must work more effectively and it must move more swiftly. The European consensus on development and the new strategy for Africa are steps in the right direction, as was the recent announcement of the creation of a European fund to finance African projects, and I am delighted at these breakthroughs. Despite the increase in traditional public aid, the current figures show that the attainment of the Millennium Goals hinges on the adoption of mechanisms of complementary funding. On the initiative of several Member States, innovative and complementary financial instruments are being created. The European Union must work on implementing these instruments so as to produce stable and predictable resources needed to meet the unfulfilled requirements of developing countries, particularly in the health care sector. Several Member States already support these initiatives. Commissioner, you pointed out that some of these countries, including France, committed themselves to implementing international solidarity contributions, for example on flight tickets. At the next ministerial conference, the Member States will strengthen the international consensus on the need to introduce innovative and practical sources of funding. This meeting must provide the opportunity to build on the momentum generated in New York during the last United Nations Summit."@en1
