The European Commission has approved a new Communication setting out a Programme for an accelerated European Union (EU) response to the pandemic caused by HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. The programme sets out an ambitious agenda with potentially massive developmental returns. In the 2000 budget, the EU is committing €800 million for health, Aids and population programmes. Representing 8% of the total development co-operation budget, this will steadily increase as delivery capacity improves. |
