"The motion for a resolution on the 2011 EU accountability report on financing for development is a move in a progressive direction. It concludes that achieving the global poverty eradication goal will require, above all, policy change in industrialised and developing countries to address the structural causes of poverty. It also acknowledges that it will be impossible to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and that the Member States have failed to honour their pledge to provide economic aid to developing countries, especially those less hard hit by the global crisis. The resolution endeavours to remind the Member States of the pledges which they have made and, unfortunately, failed to honour, in terms of viable growth and combating climate change. Furthermore, the deep concern expressed in the text about the problem of the acquisition of farmland by government-backed foreign investors, particularly in Africa, is also extremely important. This particular practice is undermining local food security and is a new form of colonisation. It is for all these reasons that I voted in favour of the resolution."@en1
