MEP´er: Alzheimers skal være en sundhedsprioritet for Europa
Alzheimer's: will it become a health priority for Europe?
Hvert år rammes 1,4 millioner europæere af demenssygdomme.
Tuesday afternoon: debate on a report calling for changes to way Dementia's are dealth with Report calls for specialist centres, more public awareness and sharing of best practice in treatment Every year 1.4 million Europeans develop some type of dementia.
Der stilles en ny diagnose hvert 24. sekund, og det anslås, at mere end 8 millioner europæere mellem 30 og 99 år lider af neurodegenerative sygdomme.
A report being debated Tuesday afternoon (18 January at 1600 CET) calls for more sharing of scientific knowledge, raising public awareness to recognise early symptoms and setting up specialist centres.
Tirsdag den 18. januar drøfter MEP´erne en betænkning, der anbefaler at gøre demens til en sundhedsprioritet for EU.
The number of sufferers of some form of dementia could nearly double every 20 years, possibly reaching 65.7 million in 2030.
For øjeblikket repræsenterer neurodegenerative sygdomme en af hovedårsagerne til invaliditet blandt ældre, og antallet af berørte mennesker forventes af stige kraftigt de kommende år.
The report by Portuguese MEP Marisa Matias (GUE/NGL) calls on European governments to make combating and treating Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias a priority.
De opfordrer endvidere Rådet og Kommissionen til at skride til handling for at skabe øget bevidsthed om demens og fremme genkendelsen af de tidlige symptomer på demens med henblik på tidlig diagnosticering.
Efforts to raise public awareness about dementia in the EU, facilitating recognition of the early symptoms of dementia, setting up measures to strengthen research, improving access to diagnosis and drugs.
Oprettelse af specialcentre i medlemsstaterne og tilvejebringelse af tilstrækkeligt medico-teknisk udstyr (herunder MR-scannere) skal bidrage til bedre behandlingsformer, mener MEP´erne.
The setting up of specialist centres and the provision of satisfactory medical equipment and improvements to the skills of professional carers.
Endelig opfordrer MEP´erne medlemsstaterne til at udvikle handlingsplaner, der sigter mod at forbedre velværet og livskvaliteten for de patienter, der lider af Alzheimers og andre demenssygdomme.
The development of action plans aimed at improving the well-being and quality of life of patients suffering from dementia and their families.
Et stort problem i en aldrende verden
As the population ages dementia will increase
Med en befolkning, der bliver ældre og ældre, er sygdomme som Alzheimers en stor udfordring, også ud fra en budgetmæssig synsvinkel.
With the world population becoming older, diseases like Alzheimer's are a big challenge including from a financial point of view.
Den stigende aldring af befolkningen medfører et stigende pres på de offentlige budgetter, og demenssygdomme forventes derfor i de kommende årtier at blive en af de største udfordringer for bæredygtigheden af de nationale sundhedssystemer.
"Dementia is therefore expected to be one of the main challenges for the sustainability of national social and healthcare systems, including informal care and long-term care facilities, in the coming decades," it adds.
Betænkningen drøftes tirsdag den 18. januar.

Ros til det belgiske formandskab
Belgian Presidency judged a European success story
Belgiens premierminister Yves Leterme Det belgiske EU-formandskab fokuserede på at "skubbe det europæiske projekt fremad" frem for at dyrke nationale særstandpunkter.
Belgium's Prime Minister Yves Leterme, European Parliament, Strasbourg, eastern France, 18 January The Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU is a role model for future holders of the post because Belgium focused on moving Europe forward and didn't try and push national priorities, most of Parliament's political groups said during a debate Tuesday morning.
Derfor vil formandskabet blive husket som et "eksempel til efterfølgelse", mente flertallet af MEP´erne, da de tirsdag gjorde status over de seneste seks måneders politiske arbejde.
MEPs agreed that Belgium's six months at the helm of the Council of the EU, the first presidency under the new Lisbon Treaty framework, were very successful.
Formandskabet blev især rost for at have fulgt Kommissionens og Europa-Parlamentets dagsorden og for at have samarbejdet konstruktivt med samtlige EU-institutioner.
It won plaudits for following the agenda of the European Commission and Parliament and for working with Commission, Council and the EP in developing a working method under the new rules.
Belgiens fungerende premierminister Yves Leterme sagde, at Belgien havde arbejdet målrettet for at fremme samarbejde og integration i Europa.
There were some suggestions that the fact that Belgian still has a caretaker government allowed it to focus clearly on Europe.
Han fremhævede i den sammenhæng aftalen om finansielt tilsyn og samarbejdet under budgetforhandlingerne.
Acting Prime Minister Yves Leterme said Belgium had worked to encourage cooperation and inclusion and had been successful in getting agreements on financial supervision and the budget but warned that the EU must go much further.
Han understregede dog samtidig, at EU er nødt til at gå endnu længere: "Den Monetære Union er ikke mulig uden en Økonomisk Union og mere konvergens, tilsyn og budgetdisciplin", advarede han.
"Monetary union is not possible without economic union and more convergence, strong supervision and budgetary discipline."
Han understregede vigtigheden af, at EU opbygger en stærk og effektiv udenrigstjeneste, der er i stand til at forsvare Europas interesser og synspunkter på den internationale scene.
Other priorities for the future include increasing the EU's role in the world and working with the EP on how the EU will be funded in the future, he said.
Han afsluttede med at understrege behovet for en "europæisk sjæl" og en styrket tro i befolkningen på det europæiske projekt.
He finished by telling MEPs that "Europe needs a soul" and will only be able to move forward "if we believe in ourselves."

Haiti: fragility of the state and political crisis worry MEPs
Klare regler for at søge behandling i udlandet
Port Au Prince, Haiti, one year on.
Françoise Grossetête MEPerne har godkendt et lovforslag, der fastlægger patienters rettigheder med hensyn til at søge behandling i udlandet.
Commending the work of humanitarian organisations active in Haiti, MEPs say better communication is needed about the non-visible effects of the humanitarian measures because it is thanks to these that the situation on the ground has been brought under control.
Hermed bliver der også klarhed om reglerne for godtgørelse af udgifter, specielt i de tilfælde, hvor en forhåndsgodkendelse er nødvendig.
The recent cholera epidemic has highlighted the almost total inability of the Haitian state to cope with a disease which is easy to prevent and cure, and the limits of international aid in a country receiving massive humanitarian resources (12,000 NGO staff).
Ved afstemningen onsdag blev Parlamentets forslag til lovmæssig beslutning vedtaget med et stort flertal ved håndsoprækning.
Humanitarian actors "should not and cannot continue to overcome the weaknesses of the Haitian state or even replace it", according to the resolution.
De nye regler skaber klarhed, hvor der før var betydelig usikkerhed om patienternes rettigheder."
Following the results of the contested presidential and legislative elections in November 2010, MEPs are deeply concerned about the current political crisis.
De nye regler fastlægger, at EU-borgere kan få godtgjort udgifter til sundhedsydelser i en anden medlemsstat, såfremt den pågældende behandling og de medfølgende omkostninger normalt ville blive dækket i deres eget land.
The EU, they say, should do everything in its power to support a transparent and legitimate electoral process and the smooth running of the postponed second round in February, to prevent Haiti falling into a deeper crisis.
De nationale sundhedsmyndigheder kan kræve forhåndsgodkendelse af behandlinger, der kræver hospitalsindlæggelse eller specielle sundhedsydelser.
"Only an elected and legitimate president and parliamentarians can take legitimate decisions and the necessary reconstruction requires stability and political will", stress MEPs.
I hver medlemsstat skal der oprettes "kontaktpunkter", som skal videreformidle oplysninger til de patienter, der søger behandling i udlandet.
People hold a giant flag as they took part in the ''Baltic Pride 2010'' march, the country's first gay pride event, on May 8, 2010, in Vilnius. ©BELGA The European Parliament called on the Lithuanian parliament on Wednesday to reject a draft law that would punish the "public promotion of homosexual relations".
I tilfælde af problemer skal kontaktpunkterne også være klar til at træde til med bistand i fornødent omfang.
It added that minors should be able to access information about homosexuality freely and asked the European Commission to present a plan to combat homophobia.
Det er i særlig grad patienter på venteliste, eller som har brug for specialistbehandling, der kan have glæde af at søge behandling i udlandet.
Wednesday's resolution, put forward by the S&D, ALDE, Greens/EFA and GUE/GNL groups, was triggered by "a series of worrying events", according to MEPs.
Derfor har MEPerne strammet lovgivningen vedrørende sjældne sygdomme, som kan være vanskelige at diagnosticere, og hvor der er langt mellem specialisterne.
The immediate issue is a draft law that would amend the Code of Administrative Offences to punish the "public promotion of homosexual relations" with a fine of between €580 and €2900.
Som regel foretrækker patienter at blive behandlet i hjemlandet.
The draft law is contrary to the Lithuanian Constitution, believes the EP, an opinion shared by the Lithuanian Justice Minister.
I øjeblikket er det kun ca. 1 % af de nationale sundhedsbudgetter, der bliver brugt på grænseoverskridende sundhedsydelser.
Lithuania's President Dalia Grybauskaitė (a former EU Commissioner) has also taken a firm stand on the legislation, denouncing it as harmful for Lithuanian citizens and the image of the country.
Reglerne vedrører kun de patienter, der søger behandling i udlandet.
The proposed amendments "have not yet been voted by the plenary of the Lithuanian parliament and are still under review by the Lithuanian national authorities", MEPs point out.
Det europæiske sygesikringskort vil fortsat være gældende for borgere, der får brug for akut behandling under ophold i en anden medlemsstat.
They welcome the authorities plan to review the proposed amendments that have been deemed to be in conflict with European law and ask President Grybauskaitė to veto them should they be approved.
Næste skridt
EU plan to fight homophobia needed
Det forslag, som Parlamentet har vedtaget, er resultatet af en aftale med Rådet, som nu blot mangler at give sin formelle godkendelse.
"EU Institutions and Member States have a duty to ensure that human rights are respected, protected and promoted in the European Union", without distinction on grounds of sexual orientation, emphasise MEPs.
Efter den endelige underskrivelse har medlemsstaterne 30 måneder til at foretage de nødvendige ændringer af deres nationale lovgivning.
The Lithuanian parliament (Seimas) has already voted, in June 2009, to amend the Law on the Protection of Minors against Detrimental Effects of Public Information, so as to ban minors from accessing information about homosexuality.
Et skridt fremad i forholdet mellem EU og Serbien
A step forward for Serbia's relations with the EU
I den forbindelse understreger MEPerne, at Serbien er nødt til at samarbejde fuldt ud med Det Internationale Tribunal til Pådømmelse af Krigsforbrydelser i det Tidligere Jugoslavien (ICTY).
While welcoming Serbia's reforms, MEPs stress that full cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) remains "a fundamental condition for Serbia to progress on the path to EU membership".
"Med godkendelsen af stabiliserings- og associeringsaftalen har Europa-Parlamentet sendt et stærkt signal til Serbien med en opfordring til at fortsætte den historiske rejse mod EU.
“By ratifying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, the European Parliament will strongly encourage Serbia to make further steps on her historic journey towards the EU.
Vi anerkender Serbiens fremskridt det sidste års tid.
We acknowledge and welcome Serbia's achievements in the past year.
Men samtidig peger vi på de fremtidige udfordringer.
At the same time, we point out all the challenges that lie ahead.
Beograd er nødt til at samarbejde fuldt og helt med ICTY for at sikre, at ratificeringsprocessen kan fortsætte uden problemer," sagde MEP Jelko Kacin (ALDE, SL), EP's faste ordfører på området i forbindelse med debatten tirsdag den 18. januar.
Belgrade needs to cooperate fully with the ICTY in order to make sure the process of ratifying SAA will continue smoothly", said MEP Jelko Kacin (ALDE, SL), Parliament's standing rapporteur on Serbia during the plenary debate on Tuesday 18 January.
Medlemsstaterne indledte ratificeringsprocessen i juni 2010.
The EU's Member States only started the ratification process in June 2010.
Indtil nu har 11 medlemsstater ratificeret aftalen.
So far eleven States have completed ratification.
MEPerne opfordrer de resterende lande til at gennemføre ratifikationen så hurtigt som muligt.
MEPs call on the remaining ones to do so swiftly.
Dialog med Kosovo: Engagement og vilje til kompromis
Dialogue with Kosovo: commitment and readiness to compromise
Den serbiske regering opfordres til at afvikle de serbiske parallelstrukturer i Kosovo, der underminerer decentraliseringsprocessen og forhindrer fuld integration af det serbiske samfund i Kosovos institutioner.
Serbian parallel structures in northern Kosovo should be dismantled since they undermine the decentralisation process and prevent the full integration of the Serbian community into Kosovo's institutions.
Liberalisering af visumregler må ikke føre til misbrug
No abuse of visa liberalisation
Derfor opfordres de serbiske myndigheder til at træffe passende foranstaltninger og gøre deres yderste for at begrænse mulighederne for misbrug af den visumfri ordning, og især for at sikre, at serbiske borgere bliver ordentligt informeret om de rettigheder og forpligtelser, der følger med denne ordning.
The Serbian authorities should "adopt adequate measure and make full efforts in order to limit possibilities to abuse the visa free regime, in particular to ensure that Serbian citizens are properly informed about their rights and obligations stemming from the this regime", say MEPs, given the growing number of bogus asylum seekers from this country in several Member States.
Internt fordrevne personer og flygtninge
Internally displaced persons and refugees
Serbien er det land i Europa, der har det højeste antal flygtninge og internt fordrevne personer, hvilket har resulteret i fattigdom og vanskelige boligforhold.
Serbia is the country with the highest number of refugees and internally displaced people in Europe, who face housing problems and poverty.
Parlamentet ønsker, at der bliver gjort mere for at sikre en løsning på flygtningespørgsmålet i hele regionen.
More progress must be made find a durable solution to refugee problems throughout the region, say MEPs.
Det minder endvidere om, at det som resultat af tilbagetagelsesaftaler med EU-lande forventes, at op til 150 000 mennesker vil vende hjem til deres oprindelsesland, og at deres vellykkede reintegration forudsætter grundige forberedelser, især fra de lokale myndigheders side.
Furthermore, as a result of readmission agreements with EU countries, up to 150,000 returnees are expected and their "successful reintegration will require thorough preparations, particularly on the level of local authorities", adds the resolution.

Haiti: MEP'er bekymret over statens skrøbelighed
Clearer rules on seeking healthcare abroad
De hæfter sig ved den svage haitianske stat og risikoen for, at den nuværende politiske krise forværres yderligere.
The legislation clarifies the rules for reimbursement, including when advance authorisation may be required.
Den nylige koleraepidemi har afdækket den haitianske stats næsten totale handlingslammelse med hensyn til håndteringen af en sygdom, der er nem at forebygge og helbrede, og det internationale bistandssystems begrænsninger i et land, hvor den humanitære indsats ellers er massivt til stede (12.000 ngo'er).
French MEP Françoise Grossetête (EPP), who led discussions in Parliament, commented: "Patients will no longer be left to their own devices when they seek cross border healthcare and reimbursement.
Humanitære aktører kan og skal ikke opveje den haitianske stats svagheder eller træde i stedet for den.
This directive will at last clear up patients' rights because until now they have been very vague."
Genopbygningen kræver stabilitet og politisk vilje MEP`erne udtrykker dyb bekymring over den aktuelle politiske krise efter resultaterne af præsident- og parlamentsvalget i november 2010.
The new rules clarify that EU citizens can be reimbursed for healthcare they receive in another Member State, as long as the type of treatment and costs would have normally been covered in their own country.
EU bør gøre sit yderste for at yde en stærk støtte til en åben og legitim valgproces og en vellykket gennemførelse af anden valgrunde i februar for at undgå, at Haiti havner i en endnu dybere krise.
Authorities may require that patients seek ‘prior authorisation’ for treatments requiring overnight hospital stays or specialised healthcare.
MEP´erne roser de humanitære organisationers arbejde i Haiti og mener, at der er behov for en bedre kommunikation af resultaterne af de humanitære interventioner, som ikke er synlige, for takket være, disse er det lykkedes at bringe situationen under kontrol.
On the insistence of MEPs, any refusal will need to be justified according to a restricted list of possible reasons, which includes certain risks to the patient or general public.
Ifølge Europa-Parlamentets beslutning bør mindreårige desuden have fri adgang til oplysninger om homoseksualitet.
Each country must establish a ‘contact point’ to provide information to patients considering seeking treatment abroad.
Europa-Kommissionen anmodes om at fremlægge en plan til bekæmpelse af homofobi.
Contact points will also provide assistance if problems occur.
Det drejer sig om et lovforslag, som sigter mod at ændre loven om administrative lovovertrædelser med henblik på at straffe "offentlig propaganda for homoseksuelle forhold" med bøde på mellem 580 og 2.900 EUR.
Seeking healthcare abroad could particularly benefit patients on long waiting lists, or those unable to find specialist attention.
Ifølge Europa-Parlamentet, er de foreslåede ændringer i strid med Litauens forfatning; et synspunkt, som deles af den litauiske justitsminister.
MEPs strengthened provisions for cooperation on rare diseases, since awareness can be low and experts are often few and far between.
Litauens præsident (og tidligere EU-kommissær) Dalia Grybauskaitė har ved flere lejligheder taget klart afstand fra forslag til homofobisk lovgivning, som hun betegner som værende skadelig for litauiske borgere og Litauens image.
As a general rule, most patients prefer to receive treatment close to home.
