Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer(debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, rapporteur, 1.3 million Europeans die of cancer every year. Of these, 6,000 are children. 100 million screening tests were delayed by COVID.

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 21-22 October 2021 (debate)

Mr President, Madam President of the Commission, today, the International Day of Democracy, is the best day to hold this debate. Over the past two decades, various crises have hit Europeans. Jobs have been lost, and worse, we have lost loved ones.
