"Mr President, I voted for the Wieland report because there needs to be an increase in professional requirements in the European Union. I am referring in particular to the skills of nurses and doctors. This report rightly increases the minimum length of training required to become a general practitioner from two to three years and I support this step. However, in voting for the motion, I am also expressing a desire for further measures. Although it is a good thing to have skilled doctors to treat patients, it is also a good thing if citizens who are ill in the European Union are able to treat themselves. Sadly, the poor, the elderly and a great many pensioners hardly have enough money to live on and can only afford one meal a day. These people cannot afford to buy medicine.
In voting for the motion, I therefore call for medical assistance to be provided for the citizens who are least well-off as well."@en1
