lpv:spoken text	"I welcome this resolution in advance of the UN high-level meeting on the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases, as these account for the vast majority of deaths in Europe. Cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer and diabetes, among others, are very closely related to a number of common risk factors in modern societies. Tobacco and alcohol consumption, unhealthy diets, lack of physical exercise and exposure to pollution often lead to otherwise preventable chronic diseases and premature deaths. Health expenditure, however, is overwhelmingly channelled to treatment, and we sorely lack investment in the prevention of these conditions, which the World Health Organisation now regards as a global epidemic. We need bold preventative measures, which are not only the most cost effective, but also bring positive knock-on effects on overall health, lifestyles, the environment, and even socio-economic equality. The same goes for early diagnosis strategies."@en1
