"Mr President, I should like to begin by congratulating everyone who has been involved in this work: Mr Caudron, Mrs Sandbæk, the Commission and the Council, for this is a crucial action programme. We have promised the developing countries that we shall eradicate poverty there, something that will not be possible if we do not overcome diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria.
I think that, now that it has been debated in Parliament, the proposal is better than it appears, for the Commission’s proposal gave far too much emphasis to the purely medical aspects. Like other speakers in the debate, I believe however that success depends crucially upon preventive work and efforts made
the disease has broken out.
The issue of access and prices is of course incredibly important. What we must not forget is that treatment with what are known as retardant medicines is, however, an extremely complicated form of medication that also requires a functioning medical and health care system.
Finally, I want to put the same question that Mrs Sandbæk put to the Commission: has any work already been begun? What have the Member States done? What, in practical terms, has the Commission done? Noble intentions and fine words on paper are no longer enough. What, instead, is required without delay is practical action."@en1
