European Commission Directorate-General for Communication

Abstract: On the eve of the symbolic mid-term date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a European Commission survey shows broad public support for the European Union's priorities in development co-operation. Most Europeans (66%) consider reducing extreme poverty and hunger in developing countries as a priority. Combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases is the second goal (46%). And across the EU, Sub-Saharan Africa stands out in most people's minds as being in greatest need of aid (64%).
