lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, fake medicines, as we have heard, are an increasing problem. Customs officials stopped 32 million counterfeit medicinal products from entering the EU in 2008. The WHO estimates that 50% of drugs supplied over the Internet are falsified and there are even cases when the legitimate supply chain has been infiltrated. For example, between 2005 and 2007 in the UK, there were a number of cases reported by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency of fake lifesaving products, such as AstraZeneca’s prostrate cancer drug, Casodex, and the antiplatelet drug, Plavix, which protects against heart attack and stroke, actually reaching wholesalers and even pharmacy shelves. That is why we urgently need to tighten the rules on import, export and trade in fake medicines. I very much support this regulation."@en1
