"This report concerns an eminently cross-border issue. There are thus good reasons for the EU countries to coordinate the measures adopted and the political decisions taken. We have thus chosen to vote in favour of the report as a whole. We wish, however, to emphasise that isolated measures on the part of the EU are inadequate for meeting the challenges posed by a global influenza pandemic. It is therefore extremely important that the EU act in cooperation with the World Health Organisation, or WHO.
We question individual points in the report, such as the need for the Commission to devise a comprehensive communication strategy together with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). We presume that the EU countries are by themselves fully capable of communicating successfully with the people, without the aid of EU bodies. In the same way, we are opposed to the setting up of a common emergency supply of pandemic vaccines in the Community. We believe that internationally recognised organisations such as the WHO should concern themselves with global world health issues.
We are critical of the fact that the European Parliament is in this way exploiting a significant political issue in order to extend the EU’s international political role."@en1
