"Mr President, in general, I am in favour of this budgetary support for developing countries, but to be honest I am somewhat doubtful about its effectiveness. The idea of budgetary support for developing countries goes back to the Marshall Plan and is seen as perhaps the most effective way of implementing the Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda. Indeed, the European Union spent EUR 13 billion on this from 2003 to 2009. Obviously, some good has come of it. But I am just wondering how effective it really is and, particularly, how we can justify that type of expenditure, because it is difficult to assess the effect in terms of the twin objectives of poverty reduction and the strengthening of democracy in the countries that are recipients of this aid. I would like an objective view. There are different views but certainly an objective view would be welcome."@en1
