"Mr President, I would like to thank Linda McAvan for placing this debate on the agenda. I think it was a colleague from across the House who asked my colleague here about where this 0.7% came from. Well, it is actually from the Willy Brandt book ‘North-South: A Programme for Survival’, which I would suggest he reads, where in 1980 Willy Brandt said that 0.7% of GNP of developed countries should go to international aid by 1985.
In 2005 – 20 years on – Member States signed up to a 0.7% GNI target and, for new Member States, a 0.33% target. Ten years on, we are here tonight where we have an opportunity to fulfil our commitments with these international conferences in Addis Ababa, New York and Paris. So, 30 years since Willy Brandt spoke about 0.7% being reached by 1985, in this European Year of Development, we have this opportunity to fulfil Willy Brandt’s vision, and we should take that as we can and fulfil that vision."@en1
