"Concerning cooperation within developing countries, I came across one case where the EU was giving EUR 1.2 million to a project in Ethiopia, and found that 17% VAT was being applied by the Ethiopian Government. I wonder, therefore, whether we have made any progress in dealing with developing countries that are receiving development aid.
I also wonder whether we have had any indications from Member States at this stage as to what provisions they are making in their 2009 budgets for aid contributions in 2009. Will there be a reduction owing to the economic downturn in many countries, and is the presidency being proactive with Member States to ensure that this is not the case?"@en1
