called Millennium Development Goals, countries had promised to allocate 0.7 percent of gross domestic product to development. But in the EU, only Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have met that commitment. Juncker said budgetary problems in the rest of EU governments, which are struggling to contain fiscal deficits, make them "totally unable" to meet the aid goal. "We would have to look for alternative modalities and ways and means of financing," Juncker said.
