   Hinzugefügt: (3 a) Treating health as a commodity has proven to be both costly and inefficient, as pharmaceutical companies have not addressed the crucial issue of shortages of medicinal products, despite receiving windfall profits at the expense of European citizens' right to healthcare. Enhanced public control over medical research and medicines production is urgently needed to ensure that treatments are not developed according to their profitability, and are affordable for all patients.
