lpv:translated text	"It is estimated that 9.9 million people in Europe suffer from dementia; the vast majority of these – more than 7 million – have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Scientific studies suggest that this figure could double every 20 years. This situation requires a new attitude from the European Union and the Member States on the prevention and treatment of this disease. The report on which we voted today, whose content I support, proposes improved coordination between the Member States’ medical and social services, and the people around those suffering from Alzheimer’s, such as healthcare professionals, relatives or private charities. I would also stress the importance given in the report to early diagnosis, to the existence of interconnected centres of reference, to a multidisciplinary approach to the disease, to the importance of professional training specialising in this type of diseases, and to the network of support for families. Also important is the support proposed for information campaigns on degenerative diseases aimed at the general public. I also agree with the idea expressed in the report that a European strategy on these diseases must protect services that enable universal and geographically widespread access to the system."@en1
