"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the statistics on diabetes are disturbing. It has become a problem of epidemic proportions that claims more than 300 000 lives each year. It is a chronic illness that accounts for between 10% and 20% of national health expenditure. At present, there is still no treatment capable of bringing the illness under control, and whilst it has luckily been declared a non-communicable disease, it will inevitably spread as a result of ageing populations and unhealthy lifestyles. The European Union must continue to direct its efforts towards preventing diabetes and obesity, alongside strategies on healthy lifestyles and early diagnosis. The European Union must also implement an effective and innovative targeted strategy at national level and guarantee constant financial support to research projects."@en1
