Det forhold, at vores udviklingsbistand, herunder navnlig vores humanitære bistand, ofte holdes tilbage på grund af situationen i Palæstina, giver naturligvis anledning til en række spørgsmål, men jeg mener ikke, at EU, og helt sikkert ikke Kommissionen, fortjener at blive anklaget for at tage lige så meget igen, som den har givet.
There are of course questions surrounding the fact that our development assistance and, in particular, our humanitarian aid are often held to ransom by the situation in Palestine, but I do not feel that the European Union, and certainly not the Commission, deserve to be accused of taking back as much as they have given.
