(...) First, in terms of approach. The MFF proposal on the negotiation table integrated the existing Health instrument in the broader European Social Fund Plus, meant to become the core programme for investing in people. Now, we come with a separate, new and self-standing programme on Health.
Second, in terms of ambition. The new programme will have a robust financial envelop of 9.4 billion €, compared to the current 413 million € (for the whole period 2014 – 2020), which was just pocket money.
We are increasing the total envelop by over 23 times! This ambition speaks by itself on the priority we want to give to public Health.
Third, in terms of scope. The new programme will support ambitious actions to be better prepared to Health threats, improve EU strategic capacity on medical products and strengthen national Health systems. This will obviously be done in full respect of Treaty competences to better support Member States and better coordinate at EU level. We are not changing the Treaty; we are fully exploiting the possibilities it offers. (...)
our 3 + 1 main objectives:
First, we have to protect people in the EU from serious cross-border threats to health;
Second, it is our moral obligation to improve the availability in the Union of medicines, medical devices and other crisis relevant products, contribute to their affordability, and support innovation;
And third we want to strengthen systems and the healthcare workforce, including by digital transformation and to increase the general level of public health.
Finally, this new Health Programme could be an opportunity to step up our competences in Health issues. An issue that could be debated in the context of the forthcoming work on the Future of Europe Conference.(...)
