lpv:translated text	". Most of the countries worst affected by AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis are unable to produce the necessary treatments themselves. Forty-two million people are infected with AIDS in the world. Only 36 000 people are receiving treatment in Africa. Every day, 40 000 people die from infectious disease. The situation is therefore serious and urgent. In response to this situation, on 20 December last, the Northern countries gave in to the diktat by the United States which, in order to protect its pharmaceutical industry, vetoed the agreement on generic medicines. The European Union, however, wishing to protect its image, agreed to go back on the Doha acquis, by presenting highly restrictive definitions of the diseases in question and the countries concerned and allowing the establishment of a right for the WHO to assess the conduct of countries in this matter. Hundreds of thousands of human lives are at risk. The European Commission has chosen to give the profits of the pharmaceutical industries precedence over life. Together with my group, I support the many NGOs that are asking for matters relating to public health to fall outside the scope of the WHO."@en1
