lpv:translated text	"We voted in favour of this motion for a resolution, since we are aware that neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, affect more than seven million people living in the countries of the European Union. We join in welcoming the Commission’s proposed pilot project for joint programming of research in this field, although we do not regard it as enough. We do, however, acknowledge its value in reducing fragmentation of the research effort, leading as it would to a pooling of a critical mass of skills, knowledge and financial resources. It is important to make further progress, particularly through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing social research into the welfare of patients and their families, and by promoting ‘brain-healthy lifestyles’ and considerable improvements in the living conditions and state of health of the population in general. We are aware that neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are among the greatest challenges in mental health, and the fight against these diseases must therefore respond to a triple challenge: providing care for an increasing number of patients on a day-to-day basis, improving the conditions under which much of this care is provided, which means providing greater support for families and carers, and securing much more funding for research, so that the number of patients decreases."@en1
