"In pratica, una volta di pi� i Paesi ricchi cercano di gonfiare il proprio reale contributo a favore del dimezzamento della povert� tramite trucchetti contabili contrari non solo a ci� che � necessario, ma anche agli impegni internazionali assunti nel corso degli anni" - commenta Francesco Oddone di Eurodad. Secondo gli impegni presi alla conferenza di Monterrey del 2002 la cancellazione del debito non dovrebbe essere considerata nel computo degli aiuti allo sviluppo.
