"Today, the European Parliament voted on the report on increasing the impact of EU development policy (). The report is, to a large extent, a very good one and it puts forward a number of important principles with regard to the responsible utilisation of the Union’s aid funding. As a member of the Committee on Development and also a member of the same group as the author of the report, it would in fact have been natural for me to support the report and vote in favour of it in plenary. However, in my opinion an unfortunate compromise was made between the political groups in the vote in the Committee on Development and a reference to the introduction of a tax on financial transactions was inserted in paragraph 22. Since I am convinced that such a tax will harm development in the world rather than benefit it, I was unable to vote in favour of the report."@en1
