lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it may seem surprising that we on the left congratulate the rapporteur and welcome his report, but we are convinced by its content. Mr Trakatellis talks of a principle which we share: health is not a commodity which can be traded. And he speaks of two objectives: health promotion and disease prevention, and the whole of his proposal refers to these two objectives, and it is essential that a health programme achieves them. Initially he talks about the necessary coordination, not only in the networks which deal with health, but with the Member States and also with the non-governmental organisations. And, as an epilogue, he also talks about a proposal which we agree with: to create a centre for the coordination and monitoring of the health situation. We also agree that we must have the capacity for rapid reaction in the face of the kind of threats to health which we have seen recently and continue to see. We must also overcome inequalities; there are still inequalities between the Member States and within the Member States themselves, and the rapporteur and the Committee on the Environment remind us that these inequalities must be overcome, and place great emphasis on the ongoing training of doctors and health staff, but also on the health education and training of schoolchildren. We think this is essential. The rapporteur also speaks of the risks which today are of great concern to the population and which relate to the health effects of mobile telephones and mobile communications in general, with the tall masts that are now all over our towns producing electromagnetic waves. He also discusses the risks of radioactivity and, specifically, of something which was also talked about – and this is a debate which should continue – of the health risks of depleted uranium and other risks. I believe that this is a fine report and that its deserves Parliament’s support tomorrow."@en1
