lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the statistics in relation to non-communicable diseases are pretty shocking. As Mr Busuttil said, 86% of all deaths in the European Union are caused by these diseases; it is equally shocking that 97% of the money is spent on trying to cure these diseases and only 3% is spent on trying to prevent them. It is an old adage that ‘prevention is better than cure’. Obviously, we need to do far more in the field of prevention. We need lifestyles to change, admittedly, but we need to do an awful lot in relation to research, because these diseases are on the rise. Respiratory diseases, such as asthma and non-communicable pulmonary diseases, are all on the rise and need to be included in research programmes. This is necessary with a view to improving people’s health across the European Union, but also because the World Economic Forum has identified non-communicable diseases as one of the great threats to economic development."@en1
