World Cancer Day
Resolution on a topical subject.
In this non-legislative resolution marking World Cancer Day, Parliament expresses solidarity with cancer patients, survivors, families, healthcare workers and researchers and reviews the burden of cancer in the EU, citing figures such as 2.7 million diagnoses and 1.3 million deaths per year. The text calls on the Commission and the Member States to renew their political commitment to the full implementation of Europe's Beating Cancer Plan throughout the 2028-2034 multiannual financial framework, with adequate funding, annual reporting and improved transparency. It regrets that the 2028-2034 MFF does not have dedicated funding for health and calls for a specific EU health programme with a dedicated envelope, while stressing the integration of gender-related differences into cancer research and care, and strengthened EU cooperation and funding on paediatric and rare cancers through European Reference Networks. The resolution addresses the Commission, the Council and the Member States.
