European Parliament Special Committee on Cancer established

The work of the European Parliament continued throughout the lockdown, despite many MEPs being physically absent from committees, debates and plenaries. As with many places of work across Europe, they are looking to slowly reopen – and spiritsEUROPE engagement with our elected officials can also resume.

One of the more significant decisions of the EP was the establishment of a special committee on cancer, which will run for one year and intends to complement the work of the Europe Beating Cancer plan of the new Commission. The chair of the special committee is Bartosz ARŁUKOWICZ (EPP, Poland) and the rapporteur is expected to be from the Renew Europe political grouping.

spiritsEUROPE is happy and ready to contribute and participate in the work of this committee, where and when appropriate.
