lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our position has been very well explained by Mr Wurtz and Mr Sylla. I only want to highlight three aspects. The first one – and I say this as a medical historian – concerns the fact that, in a continent that has been destroyed by colonisation, which is the case with Africa, it is not an accident that the AIDS epidemic has occurred, but rather it is a consequence of the impoverishment of that continent, and therefore we are responsible, as the former colonial power, for helping Africa. The second is that, given the prevalence of AIDS in Africa and knowing that thousands of young people cross the Mediterranean into Europe, via Spain and other countries, and also bearing in mind the incubation period of the disease, which is from five or six to twelve years, we can calculate that a third of these young people are infected with AIDS and are living in Europe. This issue, therefore, affects us directly. Thirdly and finally, I would like to point out that the most suitable instrument we have – this has been demonstrated by the UN by means of the WHO in the fight against smallpox – is the WHO. It is incredible that we have abandoned such an important international instrument as the World Health Organisation."@en1
