EU must urgently develop Green Pillar of the European Health Union

Here is the letter: Cc Frans Timmermans, Executive Vice President, European Green Deal Margaritis Schinas, Vice President, Promoting our European Way of Life Subject: Call to urgently develop the Green Pillar of the European Health Union for a Healthy Recovery from the Pandemic Dear President von der Leyen, We, representatives of the undersigned organisations, are writing to you to express our grave concerns regarding the lack of coherence between the European Health Union proposals and the European Green Deal’s zero pollution ambition, especially in the area of transport. We urgently call on you to make the two initiatives truly linked and coherent by including the relevant European Green Deal initiatives under the coverage of the European Health Union as a ‘Green Pillar’ to both meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and ensure a healthy recovery from the pandemic.

Obesity must not become a new normal, MEPs warn

A new initiative of European lawmakers calls for better treatment and management of obesity across the EU In light of rising obesity rates across Europe. European Parliament’s intergroup on obesity was launched on Tuesday (20 April) in order to make resilient health systems a reality by addressing obesity as a prioritised chronic disease. Considered the silent killer of our time, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases are responsible for 71% of global deaths, more than 40 million annually. The list of chronic diseases also includes cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancers, and diabetes. Lawmakers and stakeholders who spoke at the launch event of the intergroup stressed that, although the EU has officially categorised obesity as a chronic disease, there is as yet no sign of any measures being taken to ensure appropriate strategies are adopted at the EU level.

Kyriakides: Lifting patents is not way forward to produce more vaccines

Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides on Tuesday (13 April) acknowledged the need to accelerate production of COVID-19 vaccines but stressed that lifting patents is not a way forward and that other options are under consideration. “We do not consider at this time that we should give the chance to lift patents in order to have more vaccine production. We do not think this is the way forward, but there are several options on the table being discussed,” said Stella Kyriakides. Kyriakides was speaking at a conference on the impact of COVID-19 on health and social effects, a meeting organised by the Portuguese Parliament’s health commission and labour and social security commission as part of the Portuguese EU presidency.
