lpv:translated text	"− The EU is the world’s largest donor of foreign aid, being responsible for over half of public development assistance. Together, the Member States awarded EUR 49 billion in aid to the world’s poorest countries: the equivalent of almost 0.4% of their gross income. These figures are a good demonstration of the importance of European development assistance and, naturally, of the significance of the Instrument for Stability. That is why I see the strengthening of this instrument and the Union’s greater commitment to development cooperation as important. Nevertheless, I cannot fail to stress that, while I consider it absolutely crucial that the EU remains committed to its foreign development-cooperation and humanitarian-aid missions, I cannot understand how it is possible that aid for third countries can be released more quickly than that for Member States that are the victims of disasters as has, unfortunately, been the case with Madeira: several months after the tragedy, it has still not received any aid from the Solidarity Fund."@en1
