Consultation on Commission Communication ”Solidarity in health”

Brussels (Belgium), 02.04.2009

Thursday 2 April 2009

All the versions of this article:

The European Commission is to publish a Communication before the end of the year aimed at addressing the growing “health gap” across the EU and within the Member States. In June 2008, the European Council called for greater efforts to close the gap in key health indicators between and within member states.

EUROFEDOP has asked CESI to deliver a position to the Commission, on the basis of the existing know-how.

The position enclosed (currently only available in German), in which attention is paid to the subjects of subsidiarity, well-trained personnel for the guarantee of high quality health services, conciliation of the professional and family life, health and security at work (e.g. as regards stress) and elderly care, has the full support of EUROFEDOP.

The chairwoman of the Trade Council Health Services, Esther Reyes Diez (SATSE, Spain), says : “This is a good example of coordinated action. 95 % of our conclusions are included in the CESI document. This is a sign of appreciation for the efforts made by Eurofedop in this field since many years”.

Other member organisations of EUROFEDOP have also transmitted their national position to the Commission. Enclosed the position of Viorel Rotilă, president of FSSDR (Federatia “Solidaritatea Sanitara” din Romania).

The Trade Council Health Services of 15.06.2009 will further discuss this point in detail.
