"Mr President, Mr Caudron and Mrs McNally both mentioned the fight against AIDS, TB and malaria. EUR 400 million have been set aside for this purpose, but the money appears in the budget under ‘integration of European research’ in Amendment No 339. Could the Commission please tell me whether this means that the money can only be spent in Europe or whether it is possible to use this money to finance the pan-African malaria vaccine-testing network, which, unlike the EU, is ready to test the malaria vaccine now? If the EUR 400 million can only be spent in Europe, can the Commission tell me whether mainstreaming will make it possible to fund the African network? If not, I would urge Mr Van Velzen to reconsider accepting an oral amendment to Amendment No 339, which would place the EUR 400 million under international activities. We are discussing a research programme which will end in 2006. By then, if we do not finance the pan-African network, more than 400 million people may have died in sub-Saharan Africa and in other poor countries, and more than 50 years of development policy efforts are likely to be ruined by then. This is extremely important, so even if Mr Van Velzen does not support this oral amendment, I hope that the plenary will."@en1
