The Commission called on Member States to increase aid levels for the poorest countries, following the official announcement of the 2007 figures by the OECD. Figures showed that aid volume provided by Member States has decreased for the first time since 2000. The Commission was also concerned about the global trend. For the second year in a row, global aid provided by the 22 biggest donors in the world has gone down, putting the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) seriously at risk. |
