lpv:translated text	"Mr President, more than a million people die of malaria every year and at least five hundred million people contract the disease, most of them in Africa. Children and pregnant women are worst affected by the disease. The fight against malaria is connected with the fight against poverty, but we must remember that the threat of malaria is predicted to grow with climate change. The fear is that due to global warming the malarial mosquito will spread, for example, to the southern parts of Europe and the United States. The prevention of climate change is therefore also the fight against malaria. Recently, the role of DDT in the fight against malaria has been discussed. The use of DDT in the fight against malaria is permitted, but we must not close our eyes to the harmful effects of DDT. DDT is damaging to human reproduction, it hampers the development of children’s brains, causes nervous system disorders and weakens our resistance to diseases. Therefore, in the fight against malaria we have to do our utmost to promote the use of less harmful methods, such as its natural enemies and bed nets containing DDT and insecticides."@en1
