lpv:translated text	"May I draw the House's attention to next Thursday, 13 March, which is World Kidney Day. As you are know, chronic kidney disease is something of a silent epidemic in Europe, because its progression is often asymptomatic. Most people are not familiar with the disease and it is not seen as a priority by policy-makers. It is thought to affect 8% of Europeans, a figure that is set to double over the coming decade unless something is done about it. Last week the European Kidney Health Alliance and World Kidney Day held a symposium on the subject, with an accompanying exhibition, and I myself have set up an MEP group along with a number of colleagues. I urge all members of the House to support this initiative, because I am convinced that the European Parliament can play a leading role in encouraging Member States to act promptly to get the scale of the problem recognised and an appropriate strategy devised."@en1
