I fully understand this question. I believe that this is the type of discussion that we are going to have. First of all, let me take the content of the priorities. As part of genomics research, it is obvious that there are health policies within this as well. I have already answered Mr Van Velzen with regard to the problem of cancer and the problem of Alzheimer’s disease, which will continue to be investigated. I recently attended a meeting of the leading European cancer specialists. They all know that genomics research represents a potential solution for this disease, as we are advancing towards developing increasingly individually-tailored types of treatment, taking into account aspects of genomics research. This is not theoretical genomics dating back 10 or 15 years – these are elements of application that can be highlighted. One of our objectives is, therefore, to create a network of the leading cancer researchers. There is no contradiction whatsoever.
Having said this, you are right to highlight that public health research, which appears to have less of a genuine scientific dimension, but which focuses instead on epidemiology, should also be carried out. It is true that this has not been planned in Category 8. It is planned in another category that perhaps has not been emphasised enough, namely the cooperation of national programmes. We could, therefore, put ‘co-operate’ on, for example, all epidemiological data. EUR 400 million has been set aside to strengthen the European Research Area. There are several angles of attack. You are quite right to say that we should do everything to help to give the problem a European dimension. These aspects must always be taken into consideration."@en1
