"Mr President, across the UK, nearly 3 million people suffer from diabetes. With obesity on the rise and an ageing population, the estimated cost of diabetes on the health care system is expected to increase to nearly 10% of our annual health care budget. This is not isolated to the UK. Figures show that approximately one in ten people in the EU are affected by this. While health care is a Member State competency and responsibility, I believe the sharing of best practice will be hugely beneficial. The concept of an EU strategy which aims to improve cooperation, share research and spread best practice is an opportunity to utilise the knowledge and resources the EU has available. This is an epidemic we can take control of if we act together. I therefore supported this report."@en1
