"Mr President, this report has the merit of highlighting the devastating situation of the countries of the developing world with regard to HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, three diseases which alone kill five million people every year. This situation is all the more shocking in view of the fact that, while there is as yet no HIV/AIDS treatment that brings about a cure, such treatments do exist for malaria and tuberculosis. The proposals that have been put forward fall far short of what the problem requires. The rapporteur, moreover, emphasises the ridiculously low priority which the research and development community accords to health problems in developing countries. He points out that only 10% of research activity concerns diseases which are responsible for 90% of disease in the world. He adds that when there is a failure of the market public research should be encouraged. This is true, admittedly, but when there is a failure of the market the private sector should be forced to invest rather than merely encouraged by making society contribute to its profits."@en1
