"This report, drafted by Mr Preda, concerns the fourth High-level forum on aid effectiveness, which will take place from 29 November to 1 December in Busan, South Korea. As one of the major donors of funds to developing countries, the EU should play a role that matches its responsibilities. The proposed measures therefore include the introduction of a financial transaction tax, the need to put a stop to tax havens and the stepping up of the fight against tax evasion. The EU Code of Conduct on the Division of Labour in Development Policy should also be implemented, as this will enable a saving of EUR 6 million per year. This report identifies the areas where aid is most needed, and it has the backing of a significant majority of Members of this House. Expectations are high for this forum. I am therefore voting for this report, in the hope that the measures it proposes will allow a new framework to be mapped out, improving the quality of aid and contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015."@en1
