S&Ds: The EU Commission must step up to eradicate Covid-19 globally. This is the only way forward to get rid of this pandemic

The Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament have been calling for an effective global health strategy for a long time. We must wipe out the Covid-19 threat not only from Europe but from the rest of the planet, if we eventually want to leave this terrifying pandemic behind. We call on the EU Commission to finally intensify its work and lead the way to build an effective global health policy.

The S&D co-ordinator in the development committee, Udo Bullmann MEP, said:

The European Parliament will today debate and tomorrow vote the up-dated Enforcement Regulation as agreed in the negotiations with the Commission and member states.
