Therefore, I would ask whether the Council is aware of all the initiatives which have hitherto been adopted by each individual country of the Union to reduce or cancel the debt of highly indebted poor countries, and whether it would be possible for a résumé to be produced showing the practical actions which have been undertaken by these countries and the commitments made, to prove that these initiatives are not just mere political vote-winning manoeuvres, as they all too often appear to be.
Jeg spørger derfor, om Rådet har kendskab til alle de initiativer, som hvert enkelt EU-land har truffet hidtil for at reducere de stærkt forgældede fattige landes gæld, og om det i den forbindelse er muligt at få en sammenfattende oversigt, der viser, hvilke konkrete aktioner de nævnte lande har iværksat, og hvor deres løfter fremgår tydeligt, så initiativerne ikke kun er nogle rent politiske manøvrer, som alt for ofte smager af valgflæsk.
