5 Amendments of Christel SCHALDEMOSE related to 2011/0401(COD)

Amendment 261 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – part III – point 1.1 – paragraph 6 a (new)
A growing number of studies also show that certain chemical substances have a worrying impact on our endocrine systems and general health. The effects of these endocrine disruptors, particularly when combined, are thought among many other things to include deformation of the sexual organs in male babies, early puberty in young girls, sterility, obesity and diabetes. Further research in this whole area is therefore needed.

Amendment 272 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – part III – point 1.3 – paragraph 1
Effective health promotion, supported by a robust evidence base, prevents disease, improves wellbeing and is cost effective. Health promotion and disease prevention also depend on an understanding of the determinants of health, including obesity, which is one of the main causes of many chronic illnesses, on effective preventive tools, such as vaccines, on effective health and disease surveillance and preparedness, and on effective screening programmes.

Amendment 278 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – part III – point 1.3 – paragraph 2
Successful efforts to prevent, manage, treat and cure disease, disability and reduced functionality are underpinned by the fundamental understanding of their determinants and causes, processes and impacts, as well as factors underlying good health and wellbeing. Effective sharing of data, standardised data processing and the linkage of these data with large scale cohort studies is also essential, as is the translation of research findings into the clinic, in particular through the conduct of clinical trials.
