lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I want to draw attention to the fact that there are 25 000 people in the European Union dying every year from a disease which, if it is caught in time, is largely curable. I am talking about breast cancer. I would like to welcome the Commission's initiative to urge Member States to introduce best practice with regard to breast-cancer screening. It is a matter of some regret to me that the death rate in Ireland is something over two and a half times the EU average per thousand of population. Less than half of the population in Ireland has public breast-screening services available. I am sure Ireland is not alone in this. I would urge the Commission to include in the recommendation targets for Member States to meet and also annual reports on the meeting of those targets. At the very least, we should name and shame those States that are failing to invest in health services that can save lives if they are properly applied."@en1
