lpv:translated text	"To develop and harmonise public health at the highest level ought to be one of the tasks of the European Union if its raison d’être is not merely to concern itself chiefly with the movement of capital and goods. The recommendation contains some good intentions, but nothing about how they are to be put into practice. Yet even in the most highly developed countries of the European Union, in any case in France, public health is short of resources, personnel, premises and equipment. The idea of profitability is becoming more generalised. Local hospitals and maternity hospitals are being closed down. Because of staff shortages, nurses, carers and junior doctors have horrendous timetables. Healthcare, and health itself, are commodities which a part of the population is finding it increasingly difficult to afford. A proper public health policy implies disease prevention. Yet how can we prevent disease in a society wracked by unemployment and poverty, in which we are witnessing the reappearance of diseases that we thought had been eradicated, like tuberculosis? A civilised society which has the resources of the European Union at its disposal ought to provide everyone with free, high-quality healthcare. Its inability to do so is one example of its failure."@en1
