"When we refer to the financial, economic and social crisis that we are currently experiencing, we are talking about a global crisis in which special attention must be given to developing countries, which have suffered the impact of this crisis both directly and indirectly. The existing mechanisms for helping poorer countries and their populations – which are facing conditions of extreme poverty and misery – must be applied in a way that is more effective and focused. They must not result in dependency, which could have negative effects on growth, salaries and employment.
It must therefore be guaranteed that development tools and policies will allow effective development. This requires more coordinated action at bilateral and multilateral level. Action must be taken relating to humanitarian aid, cooperation and development, and in this area, the Member States, the European Union and the international organisations play an essential role. Nevertheless, I am opposed to the introduction of a tax on international financial transactions (Tobin tax) to help fund these countries because of the impact that it would have on society in general."@en1
