lpv:translated text	". Mr President, today’s debate on avian influenza, the current pace of work and the document adopted by Parliament and the Commission are all excellent examples of good cooperation between the two institutions. Influenza is not a problem faced by individual Member States or by Europe as a whole, but a global problem. Asia has been the starting point for nearly every influenza epidemic. A dozen or so virus strains that could mutate at any moment and pose a threat to Europe have been circulating there for years. Cooperation between organisations such as the WHO, the FAO, the World Bank and leading poultry producers in the USA, Brazil and the European Union is now essential in order to eradicate these hotbeds. We have until the end of the year in Europe to draw up a road map and an action plan with a view to preventing an influenza epidemic. What should we do during these few winter months? Firstly, we should ensure that funding is available under the 2006 budget and future budgets for preventive actions. More money should be spent on veterinary measures and on purchasing vaccines for the entire poultry population of Europe, and appropriate quantities of antiviral drugs such as tamiflu should be stockpiled. A single blueprint for European veterinary services and authorities responsible for public health should be drawn up. We must develop a strategy for funding and ordering the production of antiviral drugs. A single set of guidelines should be published for the diagnosis of avian influenza and for laboratory diagnostic tests, and a scientific assessment of the epidemiological risk posed to humans by avian influenza should be commissioned. We should facilitate the setting up and funding of several new reference laboratories in other Member States. In summary, it is my belief that any future epidemic and panic could be prevented if a road map along these lines were implemented, and if Parliament were to adopt the report tomorrow."@en1
