lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the idea of the European Union providing aid to nations and countries in need is worthy of our support. However, there are doubts as to whether political issues should be included in cooperation policy as conditions for providing this aid. I understand the principle of not providing aid to countries that infringe human rights or commit various crimes. However, using cooperation policy as a tool for forcing countries in need to adopt solutions applied in the European Union as a condition for providing aid is to put unlawful pressure on these nations and goes against the idea of solidarity. We will do more to promote democratic processes if we show, in our own back yard, that we can protect civil rights and freedoms and ensure respect for and the development of the values which have always been part of the European identity. Turning cooperation policy into a weapon for militant feminism, for example, which creates a lot of controversy in Europe itself, will undermine our status and power to act in other parts of the world."@en1
