EPHA has been following the latest developments in the Convention for the Future of Europe, sending regular emails to our members and interested representatives of other organisations, as well as European Institutions.
EPHA activity is now focused on the Convention final steps:
Before 15 May: EPHA will contact the members of the Praesidium to remind them of the importance of including public heath in their draft text as an objective of the Union in article 3 and a shared competence in article 12, as well as advocating for a stronger legal bases of public health in article 152 of the EC Treaty.
From 19 May until 30/31 May: EPHA will contact the members of the Convention to encourage them to support/amend the text presented by the Praesidium in order to include our demands.
2/3 June: EPHA will press the Praesidium to take into account all the support/amendments from the Convention members.
