lpv:translated text	"I should like to thank the Commission for its sound statement. Millions of people in the South suffer from HIV/AIDS and, weakened by HIV, they often fall victim to other diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. Millions of children with no parents wear themselves out cultivating the food they need. Many of them have no access to medicines, and almost none of them have medicines adapted for children. Exemptions from the TRIPS agreement permit the export of generic medicines, but the EU countries have been slow in implementing such exemptions, a dilatoriness that leads to suffering and that, each day that passes, increases the suffering and the number of deaths. Now, the Commission and the Council have the opportunity to show that this wait is to be brought to an end. Better access to medicines must, however, be combined with increased knowledge of HIV and increased provision of information about the disease, together with an ambitious aid policy and fair trade so that the countries concerned can afford economic development that increases trade."@en1
