".
I congratulate the rapporteur on this report, which is so important and timely. Its importance and timeliness are confirmed by data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which states that in 2000 more than 79 000 women died from breast cancer. The broad majority achieved in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities also confirms the aptness of the report’s content, since there were only two abstentions and no votes against it.
Amongst the rapporteur’s suggestions, I would highlight making the fight against breast cancer a priority for health policy, implementing a two-yearly screening model for all women between the ages of 50 and 69 and the regular attendance of doctors and paramedical staff on further training courses. Something else that will be crucial is a clear commitment to cure this and other types of cancer.
I, like many others, believe that cancer remains the real ‘disease of the century’, which must be given priority."@en1
