lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly, I welcome the work done by the Commission to advance this agenda. The European Union is making every effort to end this economic crisis. However, despite the amount of work done and the amount still to be done, we cannot forget the people in the developing world. Mr President, as the joint PPE coordinator on the Development Committee, may I say that it is absolutely shocking to understand that, after we agreed to meet a commitment of 0.7% of GNP to assist the developing world, that budget is the first budget – or is certainly in the front line – to be cut every time there is financial retrenchment in our Member States. I understand – we all understand – that when GNI goes down, the contribution will go down, but it should not go down as a percentage of GNI and then go down again. I ask the Commission to do everything in its power, so soon after the Millennium Development Review in New York, to ensure that Member States face up to their commitment. We are not asking them not to reduce their contributions. We are asking that they do not reduce their contributions as a percentage of their reduced GNI."@en1
