"I welcomed this resolution because almost 75% of all people with diabetes are not in good control of their condition, leading to an increased risk of complications, productivity loss and greater costs for society. These costs will inevitably increase given the rising number of people with diabetes, the ageing of the population and the associated rise in multiple comorbidities. Only 16 out of 27 Member States have a national framework or programme in place to tackle diabetes, and there are no clear criteria with regard to what constitutes a good programme or which countries have the best practices. There are considerable differences and inequalities in the quality of diabetes treatment within the EU. The Member States must develop, implement and monitor national diabetes programmes aimed at health promotion, risk factor reduction and the prediction, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, targeting both the population at large and high-risk groups, and designed to reduce inequalities and optimise health care resources. In order to achieve non-communicable disease-related objectives and address public health, social and economic challenges, it is important for the EU and the Member States to further integrate prevention and risk-factor reduction into all relevant legislative and policy fields and, in particular, into their environmental, food and consumer policies"@en1
