BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The European Union's head office appealed Wednesday for more funding from EU governments to support programs fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in Africa and Asia.
In a statement, the European Commission called on governments to "agree on a considerable contribution" to boost the budget of the EU's head office so it can widen its programs against the killer diseases.
The appeal came as EU governments wrangle over the next round of overall budget funding to cover 2007-2013, with several seeking to cut their contributions.
