lpv:translated text	"Last year, the Member States gave only 0.43% of their gross national income (GNI) in official development assistance (ODA), despite the Millennium commitment to give 0.7% by 2015 and an interim 2010 target of 0.56%. In 2005 the Member States promised to channel 50% of all new aid to sub-Saharan Africa, but they have given only half this amount. The EU Member States have also failed to honour their pledge to give 0.15% of their GNI to least-developed countries (LDCs) by 2010. I agree that failing to keep its aid promises will seriously undermine confidence in the EU and damage its credibility among its partners in the developing world, while, on the other hand, honouring those commitments would send a powerful, unequivocal signal to poor nations and other donors. We call on the Member States to take urgent steps to honour their commitment to give 0.7% of their GNI, as well as their specific pledges to Africa and the LDCs, and recommend fully transparent, binding, multiannual measures, including legislation. At the same time, I am convinced that we must strive for more effective aid which provides better value for money, because ineffective aid wastes up to EUR 6 billion of every year."@en1
