lpv:translated text	"Though tuberculosis is one of the diseases that has practically disappeared from the focus of health concerns in developed countries, the truth is that today it is still one of the main causes of death in the world, costing the lives of 2 million people a year. In developing countries in particular, this disease is still fatal in many cases, particularly when associated with HIV/AIDS. It is, therefore, an example of the health inequalities between the industrialised world and the developing countries. In addition, though tuberculosis is still a killer, research is being abandoned for simple reasons of commercial profitability. Therefore, it is important for Europe to subscribe to scientific research and support TBVI (the Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative) so that large-scale vaccination can have a positive effect towards the elimination of tuberculosis by 2050. As we are aware, vaccines constitute an essential instrument when associated with better, cheaper and more reliable tests for detecting the infection, as well as more efficient diagnoses and treatments. That means a major re-alignment of research and increased and sustained funding, in which I believe that the EU can play an essential role."@en1
