Chronic respiratory diseases​
​

Despite alarming figures, the European Commission does not plan specific targets or a harmonised approach for the prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Instead, it says it will ensure tobacco control policies are properly implemented in the member states.

​But because health policy is the responsibility of member states, the EU takes only a subsidiary role.
“Taking into account the responsibilities of the member states for the definition of their health policy, the Commission does not intend to shape specific strategies on harmonising access to preventive care and rehabilitative treatment for patients with COPD or any other individual diseases,” a Commission spokesperson said.

A survey of 19 member states by patients association EFA found significant variations in terms of access to treatment and preventive care.

EU Prevention

As said before, EU is not taking specific measures on COPD and focus to limit tobacco consumption and quality of air.
