"Mr President, I think there is little to add to my previous comments and to the various points raised by Members of Parliament.
I agree fully with Mr Muscat. We are indeed dealing with a genuine tragedy. The problem of the infection of children with the AIDS virus, particularly in a country like Libya where AIDS is even more of a taboo subject than in most of our own countries, affects both individual families and the entire population. I believe we also need to make efforts in this area. We have to offer our help to Libya – this is now being prepared and implemented – in its fight against AIDS, and in order to improve its healthcare system so that it can, at least, cope with this tragedy which is affecting the people concerned.
Beyond that, we also need to send a very strong and clear signal to Libya and bring a degree of pressure to bear for justice to be done and for the health workers concerned to be released. Libya wishes to develop and strengthen its relations with the European Union. It cannot do so as long as it continues to persist in its determination to do nothing for these five or six people unjustly condemned to death."@en1
