"European citizens enjoy longer and healthier lives today. Despite average health levels within the European Union having improved over time, health disparities still exist between Member States and within Member States in Europe. On account of the current economic, financial and social crisis, these disparities are tending to increase. As the shadow rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, I pointed out the need to seek solutions. These will necessarily involve all participants: the European Union, national governments, regional and local authorities, and operators within the social economy. The challenges facing the European Union, the result of demographic changes, require a concrete plan for combating health inequalities in rural areas.
Strengthening the mechanism for recognising qualifications will facilitate the circulation of skills within the EU and the mobility of professionals. Campaigns promoting healthy lifestyles and prevention and screening programmes directed at specific groups are also important for reducing health inequalities. For all of the above reasons, I supported this report."@en1
