lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, congratulations to the European Commission for making the programme for action against communicable diseases with its legal base in this area a priority. Also to the rapporteur, Mr Wijkman, for fighting for sufficient resources to meet the challenge with our full support from the Socialist Group and, of course, to those governments in developing countries that have been prepared to challenge taboos and to patient groups in those and other countries who set an example of the sort of change of attitude required, both of whom prove that the battle against HIV/AIDS can be won. But shame on the Commission for seeking to get the UN global funds on the cheap. Shame on this Parliament for voting against increases in funds devoted to reproductive health, which is integral to the fight against the spread of HIV. Shame on the pharmaceutical companies, who pretend to cut the cost of essential medicines when speaking to us in Europe but who fail to deliver in sub-Saharan Africa where the need is greatest."@en1
