As the negotiations on the Outcome Document for the UN General Assembly High Level Meeting on AIDS progress, it appears that the European Union does not wish to commit to any time-bound and measurable targets, including treatment targets.

The EU is also failing to commit to a fully funded Global Fund against HIV, TB and Malaria, and refuses to address trade barriers and legal obstacles to the provision of affordable treatment in low and middle income countries. If the EU maintains these positions, the HIV response will certainly be severely weakened.

Please take action and ask governments to renew their commitments

If you can, please send a personalised email with these concerns to the EU delegation negotiator ([email protected]) and the European Commission Focal point for HIV ([email protected]).
