Event Summary
Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is the European Commission’s top health priority and one of the flagships with the potential to change our lives. It centres on several different sectors,
including tobacco, alcohol, environmental pollution, chemicals, health literacy and vaccinations.
The Kangaroo Group hosted high level speakers from three EU institutions and academics to discuss the measures included in the Cancer Plan’s prevention pillar in order to identify and aim to address any potential gaps. The panelists included:
-
Irish EPP MEP Deirdre Clune;
-
Head of Cabinet for Vice-President of the von der Leyen Commission Margaritis Schinas, Despina Spanou;
-
Deputy Director for the National Programme on Oncological Diseases, Directorate-General for Health from Portugal, Nuno Sousa;
-
Croation EPP MEP Tomislav Sokol;
-
Toxicologist Thomas Hartung.
The event was hosted by the President of the Kangaroo Group, German EPP MEP Michael Gahler. Opening the session he underlined that European governments will not be able to change peoples’ behaviours on their own. The public and private sectors need to take joint responsibility for the success of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and provide viable solutions for Europeans. Citizens should be motivated to choose a healthier lifestyle and diet by promoting policies that encourage exercise and avoidance of substance abuse from alcohol, tobacco and drugs. As these product categories are the main reason for a number of preventable cancers, a positive change in consumer behaviour is more promising than, for example, outright bans or sin taxes.
