Programme should promote research into medical products such as antimicrobials and vaccines, MEPs say
MEPs have agreed they want the EU’s 2021-27 health programme to use its bigger budget to support medical research.
A provisional agreement reached by the European Parliament and national governments in the Council of the EU on 10 November set the budget for the EU4Health programme at €5.1 billion, up from the €1.7bn national leaders said they wanted in July, but down from the €9.4bn originally proposed by the European Commission.
