". The European Union is the world’s largest donor. World aid to combat AIDS has tripled in the last three years. Even so, the figures contained in the latest WHO report are terrifying, and poverty is increasing. A greater financial commitment is useful but not enough. What needs to be discussed is above all the quality and effectiveness of the aid given. The Commission should clearly set out its priorities for future action, so that the resources allocated to development are not diverted to other, different policies, such as security or conflict resolution. What is needed is medicines, prevention and information; support for those groups closely affected by the disease: children with no parents to bring them up, and elderly people with no children to support them; research aimed at the public interest and not just for commercial ends; and action against all kinds of prejudice and against that kind of moralising that hinders prevention. AIDS is not a distant reality. In 2004 there has been a terrible increase in the number of cases in Russia and Ukraine, our new neighbours. The social malaise caused by the reduction in the active population generates poverty, tension and conflict. Therefore, the war on AIDS must also be waged in our own interests and for the sake of the stability that our Union represents."@en1
