"Mr President, Commissioner, honourable Members, thank you for an important and – I agree – excellent debate here today. It is absolutely clear that we need to focus on diabetes and other chronic diseases in the Member States, in the Commission and, of course, also here in the European Parliament. I would also like to thank Mr Busuttil, Baroness Ludford, Ms Kukovič and Ms Schaldemose for acknowledging the Danish Presidency’s work in this area. I am pleased to be able to say that it is the current Trio Presidency of Poland, Denmark and Cyprus that has placed the focus on this problem in particular. During the Danish Presidency, we have chosen to make chronic diseases a particular priority area, with diabetes as a model disease, and my presence here today on behalf of the Danish Government is also an expression of this commitment.
I would therefore like to thank the European Parliament for the opportunity for us to work together to find solutions for the many people who are affected by this disease. Together with the Commission, Parliament and the Member States, we can provide a better quality of life for the many people who are currently affected by diabetes, and we can work together to prevent millions of Europeans and their families from suffering from this disease in the future. I would therefore also like to say that this is an incredibly important debate, which will carry on after today, and I can assure you that, right through to the end of our term of office and in cooperation with future Presidencies, the Danish Presidency will do its utmost to keep this important subject on the European agenda. I wish Parliament, the Commission and the Member States well in their work and I look forward to us tackling this task together for the benefit of millions of European citizens in all of our Member States."@en1
