"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should first like to congratulate my colleague Mr Seeber on his maiden speech in this House. I believe that today’s debate makes it clear once again that our analyses are right, that the figures are dramatic and that there is support for the declarations of intent, but that the measures taken are insufficient, that there has been no about-turn in opinions, and that the situation is losing none of its drama.
I can do no other than underline everything that has been said. Aids is a disease of our times and a mirror of what has gone wrong in our society. Where Aids is concerned, we cannot merely tell people to live differently, to avoid doing certain things, and to be more responsible. It is clear that Aids is closely linked to poverty. Those affected by Aids are mostly those who live on less than one dollar a day and suffer from hunger. Aids today is a disease which affects above all the weak, children, young people and women. Aids is also an expression of a lack of prevention, education, sex education, employment and of inequality in the world. There is therefore no one solution and no one treatment. We must continue the prevention measures already taken, and it is therefore important that we regard Aids as forming part of our health and development policy, our education, family and employment policy and the overall view we take of our responsibilities.
I call upon this House to not shirk this global responsibility and to ensure that we are number one in the world in the research against Aids."@en1
