"I voted in favour of the motion for a resolution on the Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative. In many cases, tuberculosis and its prevention remain a challenge not just for the developing world, but also for developed countries. We should share good practice, allocate funding to the tuberculosis vaccine and use various measures in an attempt to reduce the horrifying statistic of around 2 million deaths from tuberculosis worldwide each year. On the other hand, some of the main risk factors increasing morbidity are alcoholism, drug use and huge poverty. It is therefore necessary for us to not only take vaccination into account, but also long-term programmes to reduce these factors. Once again I welcome this EU initiative to contribute to active EU support for vaccine programmes, which when implemented have managed to significantly reduce tuberculosis infection rates, as EU Member State statistics demonstrate."@en1
