"Madam President, Commissioner, multiple sclerosis should – and must – be recognised through better support for sufferers and by finding practical solutions. This can be achieved through equitable access for citizens to health services and through the equitable provision of all effective means.
There are broad differences between the Member States in the quality of care. The adoption of the Code of Best Practice proposed by the European Parliament is an expression of our political will to determine uniform methods of care and rehabilitation activities. This will support the right to an independent life, which depends on the provision of prompt and suitable health and social care for dignity and independence.
At the same time, the aim is to have more, better coordinated research. The McBay case illustrated how even one citizen fighting alone is enough to turn the attention of the decision-makers to cases which may be unheard of sometimes or overlooked. The emphasis must be on joint efforts by the Member States and their experts to remove the obstacles, Commissioner.
What role will the Commission play?"@en1
