Socialists and Democrats are at the forefront in the struggle for high quality public health systems that provide affordable and safe healthcare to all. The S&Ds have fought for a harmonised assessment system and for better quality and efficacy of health technologies.

 

In a report backed today by the environment and health parliamentary committee, S&Ds now call for the introduction of joint clinical assessments of health technologies at EU level.

 

oday, the S&D Group led a coalition in the European Parliament to establish a single digital gateway to reduce administrative burden for citizens and businesses across the EU. The gateway will facilitate the access of information on administrative procedures by lifting language barriers and physical presence restrictions. Citizens and business will now be able to access information and procedures in a single place, regardless of where they reside in the EU.

 

Following the publication of the European Commission’s proposal today to further strengthen the supervision of EU financial institutions, S&Ds called for additional resources to allow them to better fulfil their tasks. S&D MEPs welcomed the intention of the proposal to tackle money laundering and disrupt the financing of terrorist groups, but highlighted the need to fill the gaps in the EU supervisory framework.

 

 

Technological advancements and the need to reduce C02 emissions in order to reverse global warming have unleashed deep transformation in the transport sector. Socialists and Democrats are committed to making this transformation an opportunity both for citizens and for the industry.
