lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we are in the process of providing ourselves with an excellent public health programme by 2006, and I want especially to thank Mr Trakatellis for that. I want to mention a few points I think need to be part of this programme. The first is what is absolutely the most important objective of a health programme, namely to ensure that diseases do not occur at all. Preventative measures cannot be emphasised enough, and consideration must be given to these in all policies and all activities. That applies above all to environmental pollution which, as we know, damages public health when, for example, food is contaminated or poisonous chemicals that are dangerous to health are used in consumer products. I therefore really want to urge everyone to vote in favour of Amendment Nos 24, 40, 49 and 54. My second point relates to complementary medicine. It is important for this to be recognised in the action programme and for research, evaluation and the provision of information to be encouraged in the area of complementary methods of treatment. That is what Amendment Nos 25 and 44 are about. Thirdly, I want to draw your attention to Amendment No 60, tabled by my own political group. This says that we need to develop strategies for reducing resistance to antibiotics. This is a major public health issue and a major public health problem, as the World Health Organisation has also pointed out by way of a warning. My fourth and last point concerns the importance of the efforts in support of the activities of the not-for-profit and non-governmental organisations that operate in the public health field. They do sterling work in the field and need all the support they can get."@en1
