Wednesday 14 March 2012, the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on Addressing the EU Diabetes Epidemic

With this Resolution (B7 0147/2012), adopted by a large majority, the European Parliament sent out a message on the imporance of the diabetes epidemic. There are now more than 32 million EU citizens living with diabetes, representing 8.1% of the adult population. If nothing is done this figure is set to rise to 50 million – one tenth of the EU population – by 2025.

EURADIA welcomes the adoption of this Resolution and thanks the EU Diabetes Working Group MEP Co-Chairs Simon Busuttil (Malta, EPP), Sarah Ludford (United Kingdom, ALDE), Marisa Matias (Portugal, GUE/NGL) and Christel Schademose (Denmark, S&D) and EUDWG Members for their continuous support and commitment in the fight against diabetes.

EURADIA calls on the Commission to develop and implement a targeted EU Diabetes Strategy in the form of an EU Council Recommendation on diabetes prevention, diagnosis, management, education and research.
