"The main aim of development aid should be to help people in underdeveloped regions to help themselves. The submitted report by Mr Kaczmarek analyses various aspects of European development policy very thoroughly and proposes solutions that will boost the effectiveness of the aid provided. Solidarity between people does not mean giving blindly. Those who give take on a great responsibility. On the one hand, there is the responsibility towards those who need the aid – development aid has a substantial impact on market relations, the rise of elites, the environment and culture in the recipient country. On the other hand, though, there is the responsibility of the EU towards its citizens for the resources provided. Governments do not give their own money, and neither does the Commission. This money comes from the public purse, and it is wealth generated by the people through their work. It is money they have entrusted to the state, and they expect it to be used carefully and sensibly. Mr Kaczmarek’s report is based precisely on this responsibility, and I also expect the same responsibility from those who implement the Union’s development policy."@en1
