"It is our duty to ensure that we are the ones who build a better future, not only for Europeans, but also for the developing countries.
It is children who represent the future and we must ensure that their rights are enforced and respected in third countries which receive European funding.
It is a matter of priority that in relations with third countries, the European Union ensures that children’s rights to education and access to medical services are guaranteed.
It is true that we are going through a period of financial crisis, but we cannot overlook the fact that somewhere in the world, a child dies every three seconds and every minute a woman dies in childbirth.
Given that children make up half of the world's population, we must consider that the rights of children are a priority in the European Union’s development policy.
Every Member State, according to its possibilities, should get involved in the policies for cooperating with developing countries. In fact, the European Commission should exert pressure on developing countries to transpose into national legislation the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child."@en1
