"Mr President, many things have obviously already been said. I should like to raise one point. HIV/AIDS is impacting directly on millions of people and improving health is an absolutely essential prerequisite for Africa’s development.
To combat it as effectively as possible, we need to offer women, men and adolescents a complete range of care and services. We need to guarantee access to irreproachable information and education on sexual and reproductive health, make training women a priority so as to make it easier for them to make decisions on issues of sexuality and reproductive health, and thus offer them the means and methods necessary to protect themselves from HIV infection. Just 1% of those infected with HIV/AIDS benefit from antiretroviral treatment. We need to do all we can to widen access to generic AIDS drugs.
The timing of this report could not be better. We are working within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals. I will be voting in favour of this text, provided that no amendments alter it significantly."@en1
