"Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases affecting European citizens, thus putting health care and health insurance systems in European Union Member States under serious pressure. According to World Health Organisation data, the number of people living with diabetes in Europe has already exceeded 35 million and is expected to reach the critical level of 50 million by 2030. The sustained efforts of national health authorities and the improvement of the cooperation framework at EU level are essential for reversing these trends representing an extremely serious public health concern. Given that more than one third of newly detected cases of diabetes could have been prevented by regular medical checks, coupled with healthy lifestyle and diet habits, I think that special emphasis should be laid on organising European awareness campaigns regarding factors facilitating or determining the onset of diabetes. For this reason, I voted in favour of the resolution."@en1
