"In the world of today we are unfortunately becoming witnesses to various natural disasters, such as floods or fires following disastrous droughts. I may not be saying anything new here, but I have the feeling that we are constantly underestimating the very real threat of the bird flu pandemic. The head of the WHO flu programme, Klaus Stöhr, said on a German radio station that if the virus mutates, it will spread rapidly. Stöhr says that there are scenarios in which the virus could spread across the entire word in three to six months. Together with many colleagues present here, I believe that the preventive measures that individual Member States and the European Union as a whole have taken are inadequate, which may be partly due to lack of funding, or an unwillingness to release such funds. In my opinion we need to refine a system for releasing monies for preventive measures against bird flu and for the purchase of antiviral drugs from the European Solidarity Fund much more quickly."@en1
