lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, almost everybody knows that true equality in the 27 Member States is but an elusive dream. This is particularly so in the field of health care, and it is most obvious when dealing with complex neurodegenerative disorders such as MS, which require highly specialised diagnosis and treatment centres. Yet, in this most important area for citizens’ wellbeing, namely their health, our Treaties let us down disappointingly, as they place this area under the sole competence of Member States. Strangely enough, those responsible for making and maintaining the EU Treaties seem to care more about equality in business and marketing matters than about our health. Perhaps this debate on MS will lead to some wiser thinking and be the catalyst for changing this unsatisfactory and, in many respects, shameful state of affairs for the benefit of our citizens."@en1
