"Madam President, there is a moral obligation for the European Union and the individual Member States to make every effort to combat AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Twenty thousand deaths per day or more than seven million deaths per year are horrific figures. We are reminded of the Black Death that raged here in Europe during the Middle Ages. The Black Death is back. Forty-one per cent of the world’s population is in danger of being infected with malaria. In the light of, for example, the UN’s millennium objectives and the G8 Summit in Evian on sustainable development, I want to say to Mr Nielson that no effort should be spared in helping people hit by malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, and in preventing these diseases. We are in actual fact concerned here with rearming the whole of civilisation on this earth. Women must no longer be exploited, sexually degraded and exposed to a form of slavery that is completely unworthy of a society that is both modern and civilised. Throughout the world, men need to begin recognising the dignity of women. What is needed is a society marked by a new and more potent dispensation in which men show respect for women and for human dignity. I want to call upon Commissioner Nielson to get involved in lifestyle issues, especially when it comes to the male lifestyle that, especially where the spread of HIV/AIDS is concerned, degrades women and contributes to the completely immoral spread of this disease."@en1
