"These two issues which have been raised by two Members obviously require a scientific opinion, so to speak. I believe that, in that respect, there are groups and initiatives within the European Union which are the appropriate forum to work on the suggestions and observations which you have raised. For example, the pilot programme for combating neuro-degenerative conditions and, in particular, Alzheimer’s disease, on which the Commission submitted a proposal for a Council recommendation, which is currently under way. On the other hand, as you know, I have previously mentioned the existence of a high-level group for joint planning in connection with these conditions which, in this case, are chronic and not contagious. This group is carrying out close monitoring of this pilot initiative so as to define and specify certain matters and, therefore, to enable much more specific decision making, such as you raised in your interventions. I think that is the right place to deal with this matter. Up until now, this high-level group has agreed on an approach and a strategic research programme. There are 24 countries taking part and, at the moment, they are establishing their management structures and deciding upon their plan of action. The next meeting of this group will occur in this term of the Spanish Presidency, and I think that from thereon, they will be able to tackle questions such as those that you have raised in a very specific, direct and immediate way. I think that is the place and the forum. That is what it is there for. That is what this high-level group was set up for: to work and prepare subsequent decisions."@en1
