Draft opinion
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Points to the challenges identified by DG SANTE in its AAR in the implementation of the Union’s Third Health Programme 2014-2020 (the ‘Health Programme’); notes that those challenges relate to the current funding mechanism of the Health Programme, which only allows for project-oriented funding and can have a negative impact on the longer-term sustainability of the actions undertaken, and to the complexity of some mechanisms in the Health Programme, such as joint actions implemented with Member States, which implies that timelines from the initial planning of the activity to its actual launch can be lengthy; notes the conclusions of the European Court of Auditors in Special report No 21/2019 on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), according to which the activities of the Commission and agencies have led to some progress, for example in veterinary and food-related issues; regrets, however, that according to the same report there is little evidence to date that the health burden of AMR has been reduced in the Union;
