Focus on innovation and adapting pharmaceutical framework

摘要

Innovation, antimicrobial resistance and chronic illnesses are the Danish Presidency's three health priorities. Copenhagen is hoping that the Council will adopt conclusions on the last two, which form part of the European Commission's work programme. It will also continue and/or initiate negotiations on the legislative proposals in the pharmaceutical domain. The Commission, which has just presented its five-year action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance, must, in principle between May and August, adopt a package on 'innovation in the health sector'.
