lpv:translated text	"In my country, Slovakia, our life expectancy lags behind the EU average by almost five years for both men and women. I therefore welcome any initiative to promote health that can also be implemented in national health promotion programmes. We are also observing an increase in the incidence and prevalence of diabetes in adults. Over the past 20 years, it has almost doubled, and is rising every year. Given that there is currently no European strategy for tackling diabetes and a lack of funds for competitive research, it is up to the Member States to complement national health support programmes with diabetes programmes aimed at promoting health and bring about a gradual change in attitude regarding people’s own health. So that this does not happen only in national programmes, however, the Commission must draw up a targeted EU strategy in all respects concerning the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, as well as research into the disease."@en1
