"This resolution deals with an issue that is, to the highest degree, cross-border in nature. There are thus good reasons for the EU Member States to coordinate the measures adopted and the political decisions taken. We have therefore chosen to vote in favour of the resolution as a whole. We wish, however, to emphasise that isolated EU measures are insufficient for getting to grips with the challenges posed by a global influenza pandemic. It is therefore extremely important for the EU to act in cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO).
We question a number of individual points in the report, such as that relating to the Commission’s need to prepare a comprehensive communication strategy in conjunction with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). We presuppose that the EU Member States are perfectly capable on their own of communicating successfully with their people, without the aid of EU bodies.
We believe that it is internationally recognised organisations such as the WHO that should work on global world health issues. Quite a few of the amendments lose sight of this and instead emphasise the EU’s international role. We are critical of the fact that the European Parliament is in this way exploiting an important political issue in order to strengthen the EU and its international political role."@en1
