"Diabetes is one of the most common non-communicable diseases, estimated to affect more than 32 million people in the European Union, and this is expected to increase by about 16.6% by 2030 as a result of the obesity epidemic and the ageing of the European population. This resolution presents important data for characterising the reality of this disease in the EU and indicates ways forward with which we agree, specifically with regard to prevention at different levels, the improvement and promotion of research and the collection of data about diabetes. However, in this context, we believe it is necessary to uphold the importance of public health services in the fight against, and prevention of, this and many other diseases, particularly at the primary care level. Unfortunately, this resolution does not do this, as was called for. The resolution suggests it is necessary to collect ‘economic data based on the direct and indirect costs of diabetes prevention and management’, an approach which, in the context of the known and real growing pressure for privatisation in the area of health, cannot fail to arouse some concern."@en1
