"Question No 33 by Anders Wijkman (): While welcoming the increased international attention paid to the tragic and immense consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, malaria and tuberculosis, including the Commission’s programme for accelerated action in this field, COM(2001)0096 , it is obvious that there is an urgent need for efforts far beyond this initiative – and indeed beyond the pharmaceutical industry’s lowering of prices – in order to address the pressing needs in terms of prevention as well as treatment. The UN Secretary-General recently proposed the establishment of a global fund to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis and urged donors to make firm commitments before the UN General Assembly special session on HIV/AIDS in June. The amount needed has been estimated at $7-10 billion per year. President Bush recently announced an initial US pledge of $200 million. In the light of the Commission’s programme for action, what are its intentions as regards the global fund? Is the Commission prepared to take the lead in this issue and contribute significantly to the fund?"@en1
