lpv:translated text	"Mr President, 1 December was World AIDS Day, a day of remembrance for all the victims of the disease which remains the scourge of our planet. The figures from the World Health Organisation’s latest research show that the percentage of carriers of the virus remains at the same level, whilst the number of new cases has fallen. In spite of this, the numbers are still far too high. In a question I put to the European Commission, I proposed that a set of postage stamps should be issued to raise public awareness of AIDS, and the idea was then encouraged by Markos Kyprianou, the Commissioner responsible for health matters. Kostis Hatzidakis – our colleague until a few months ago, an MEP and now the Greek Minister for Transport and Communications – approved my proposal, and Greece printed and released a set of AIDS remembrance stamps; proceeds from sales of the stamps will be used to buy drugs for those suffering from the virus. The Commission encouraged all 27 Member States to take up the idea. Greece has made a start!"@en1
