lpv:translated text	"Mr President, of the 40 million people suffering from AIDS, 70% live in Africa. The Millennium Objectives are a central ambition to focus on basic health care where it is needed. Europe spends too little of its development cooperation budget on basic health care, which should be linked to good nutrition, access to clean drinking water and basic education. Commissioner Michel has stated that he will make a new announcement in which Europe’s priorities in terms of development cooperation will be specified. Commissioner, I do hope that the words you spoke a moment ago will also find expression in this new announcement. According to the UN, of the 45 million people at risk of infection, 27 million would, if we had a specific campaign, be preventable cases. We have a great deal of experience in campaigns of that kind globally. It does, however, require an enormous effort and we should therefore focus our minds in that respect. It has been stated before that we here in Europe can encourage our Member States to say to the pharmaceutical industry that it can make cheaper products. To the developing countries, we could say that we will provide them with a waiver, as a result of which the TRIPS agreements will not prevent them from manufacturing within the cheap market. Finally, the Vatican spoke a few days ago through Javier Cardinal Lozano Barragán, President of the Pontifical Council for Health Pastoral Care, about immunity, moral deficit and pathology of the mind as causes of AIDS that have to be combated with correct sexual practices. I regard this as a discriminating and stigmatising remark and believe that Commissioner Kyprianou was right to say that we should not stigmatise AIDS patients in that way. I am pleased that in principle, the Commissioner has given the Vatican a clear response with this."@en1
