"Mr President, the threat of an avian influenza pandemic has plunged Europe and the world into a state of hysteria. While I was in Brussels, I made inquiries into the situation in what may be Europe’s future capital. It would appear that Tamiflu, which is the only antiviral drug effective against avian influenza and which is produced by the Swiss-based Roche, is not sold in pharmacies in Brussels, or in other words in Europe’s capital. The pharmaceutical companies are making hundreds of millions of euro by whipping the public into a frenzy. We are voicing our opinions on all the key European and global issues and other matters besides, but we are unable to provide minimum standards for our own citizens, even those living in the EU’s capital. Mr President, it is my belief that the European Commission should take decisive steps to deal with this matter. If it fails to do so, we will either be made to look like fools or face the risk of a potentially tragic pandemic."@en1
