"Madam President, within the last few weeks the British press reported once more instances where religious superstition and witchcraft have had a devastating impact on albinos’ lives in Malawi. Now quite clearly overseas aid, even that given on a conditional basis, is shown not to be effective in dealing with the education, employment and income issues that might, if improved, deal with the awful prosecution and persecution of defenceless albinos. Now the European Union should look to itself and end its punitive trade barriers against African agricultural products, those trade barriers that block much needed national economic development. Only via national economic development do properly funded health and education policies that will lessen the superstition and witchcraft practices have any chance of improving African societies for all citizens, not just albinos. The Commonwealth of Nations will undoubtedly take the necessary lead from now on in this matter, but I urge the European Union to look at its African trade practices, which are not helping the plight of albinos or the African poor and thus the African continent's future."@en1
