lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I agree with most of what has been said tonight. I should like to focus on the EU contribution to the Global Health Fund. Two amendments have been tabled to make it clear that we are talking about the EUR 1 billion from both the EU and the Member States. I am pleased that Mrs Sandbæk will accept that amendment. President Prodi has supported this target. It sounds like a lot of money, especially at a time when public finances are tight, but it is not unrealistic. In fact, it is about one third of the increase announced this year for the farm budget in the EU, so it is not unthinkable that we can achieve this amount. We can afford it and so can the other developed countries. Mr Khanbhai asked what the woman who had these illnesses would think. What would she have thought, turning on her television last week, to see President Bush announcing a multi-billion-dollar space programme of truly astronomical amounts? It is about time that we resolved the problems in this world before flying off in search of others."@en1
