lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, at present avian flu is an animal disease which is not easily transmitted to humans. The major potential danger lies in the fact that the killer virus may mutate into a pandemic virus that spreads from person to person. This risk can be lessened by controlling the bird epidemic and reducing the chances of the virus spreading from birds to humans. EU-internal solidarity and the help we give to our neighbouring countries, and to those countries in Asia where the avian disease has become an epidemic, will have an important role to play here. The EU and its Member States constitute the world’s largest supplier of developmental aid. Now it is important that we help the poorer countries take action to conquer the epidemic among poultry, and it is also important that people in direct contact with birds are vaccinated against normal human flu, so that the bird virus does not get a chance to form hybrids with the human virus. We must help the poorer countries do this. We have to guarantee that the necessary drugs and vaccines will be where they are needed first, in order to control any pandemic. Through solidarity, we can help both ourselves and others."@en1
