Speaking during this morning's debate in Parliament on a global EU response to HIV/AIDS, GUE/NGL MEP Marisa Matias said it was important to send out a clear and positive message from the Parliament today, World AIDS Day.
Unfortunately, despite all the work done in the field, there were approximately 25,000 new cases diagnosed in the EU and EEA countries and some 100,000 in neighbouring countries in 2010.
