Translate the following English sentence to French:
"The purpose of the agreements between the European Union and a good number of third world countries is to enable the latter to have balanced and sustainable development but, in order to do so, the funds allocated would actually have to get to the end-users and, as we have known for a long time, corruption and fraud are depriving entire regions of the greater part of these sums."
Les accords qui lient l'Union à nombre de pays du tiers monde ont en effet pour objectif de permettre à ceux-ci un développement durable et équilibré. Encore faudrait-il que les fonds qui leur sont destinés arrivent à destination.
