"Madam President, these diseases are unbelievably detrimental to modern life and particularly when we consider that 50% of those who die are dying in their productive years. COPD alone is costing the world economy EUR 280 billion a year. It is quite obvious that we have to do a lot of work in this regard, particularly to prevent these diseases – research, etc. – but I think we need to go further. We need firstly to have targets for Member States to reduce the preponderance of these diseases in their countries, and we also need to coordinate an approach by which best practice can be utilised in all Member States. We do not have time to wait. The sooner we act, the better it will be for the economy, for people’s health and indeed for people’s social lives."@en1
