lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the battle against AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis has for a long time been one of the principal concerns of the Greens. Moreover we welcome the consensus that now prevails regarding this report, which would not have been possible four years ago. It is disquieting to learn that deaths are still being counted in millions, particularly if one takes into account the fact that these diseases affect many children or pregnant women. It is sad and devastating to learn that these diseases are still killing even though treatments exist. The accessibility of medicines must be guaranteed. It is necessary to facilitate not only a mere reduction in prices, but also the assignment of patents, because that is necessary in order to enable developing countries to produce these products for their people, or import them at low prices. The efforts on which we agree must be targeted first and foremost at children and pregnant women. Real assistance must be provided for women, who carry within them the future of the continent. This assistance includes, in addition to treatments, information about these infections, and in that respect it is necessary to strengthen the health structures in these countries. The adoption of this report will confirm the European Union’s involvement in the struggle for the health of Africa."@en1
