A new strategic approach to health for the EU (2008-2013)

The present White Paper sets out a new Community health strategy until 2013, which is designed to confront the growing challenges to the health of Europe's citizens, such as population ageing, cross-border health threats or illnesses linked to unhealthy lifestyles. This strategy is also intended to strengthen, in a single strategic framework, Community cooperation in the areas in which the Member States cannot act alone, ensure that health is better understood at European level and worldwide, and secure a bigger role for health in all policies. To this end, the White Paper proposes four principles and three strategic objectives for the coming years.

Nuova strategia in materia sanitaria per l’UE (2008-2013)

Il presente libro bianco definisce una nuova strategia comunitaria in materia sanitaria fino al 2013 per fronteggiare problemi sempre più pronunciati per la salute della popolazione come l’invecchiamento, le minacce transfrontaliere per la salute o le malattie legate a stili di vita poco salubri. Questa strategia intende in questo modo rafforzare, in un quadro strategico unico, la cooperazione comunitaria nei settori nei quali gli Stati membri non possono agire soli, garantire una maggior comprensione della salute a livello europeo e globale e riservare più spazio alla salute nell’insieme delle politiche. A tal fine, il libro bianco propone quattro principi e tre obiettivi strategici per i prossimi anni.

Improved national self-confidence and economic stability are just two of the things MEPs from the EU's two newest states picked out as the results of a year of EU membership. As they mark their first year in the Union we spoke to some of the 35 Romanian and 18 Bulgarian MEPs who were elected last year. As well asking them about their work in the Parliament, we asked them to share their impressions of the first year of EU membership and also to look forward to the 2009 European elections.

THE FANCONI ANAEMIA/BRCA PATHWAY

Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a rare genetic cancer-susceptibility syndrome that is characterized by congenital abnormalities, bone-marrow failure and cellular sensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents. Seven FA-associated genes have recently been cloned, and their products were found to interact with well-known DNA-damage-response proteins, including BRCA1, ATM and NBS1. The FA proteins could therefore be involved in the cell-cycle checkpoint and DNA-repair pathways. Recent studies implicate the FA proteins in the process of repairing chromosome defects that occur during homologous recombination, and disruption of the FA genes results in chromosome instability ”€ a common feature of many human cancers.
