lpv:translated text	"Mr President, epidemics have swept over the world several times, leaving behind devastation and pain. I do not know whether our healthcare system will ever reach a point where we will be completely free of epidemics; in any case, it is certain that today we are still very far from such a situation. However, among all the uncertainties, we can be very certain of one thing: that we have never been as prepared to face the danger as we are now. I am glad that Parliament is debating this issue now, because we can see exactly where we stand, and what else we need to do in order to be truly as prepared as we can possibly be. Our preparedness for a potential flu epidemic is based on the national anti-pandemic plans coordinated by the European Commission. It is important to make sure that the plans also include technical actions, such as the determination of the areas that need to be isolated, the procurement of the appropriate virus-killing kits, the preparation of the list of those who should be vaccinated as a priority, the fair distribution of instruments to be used against the epidemic or the regulation of traffic and attitude at the workplace. It is essential that alongside the technical measures we also pay attention to communication tasks. In the event of a pandemic, the prevention of panic among the population of a Member State is at least as important as ensuring an accurate, rapid and reliable flow of information between Member States. Communication must involve all social groups and strata, and this can only be achieved by employing all available instruments in a concentrated manner. They say that problems always start at the top. Therefore it is essential that the coordinating organisations on all continents and at global level can cooperate harmoniously. In Europe, WHO, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the Commission must work together as closely as possible even now, in the preparation phase. I congratulate Mr Adamou for his own-initiative report."@en1
