The EU Commission adopted its Report on the Implementation of the Council Recommendation on cancer screening. The report shows that although much progress has been made in cancer screening, the EU as a whole is only about half way to meeting the minimum annual number of examinations. See ECPC Member Update, EU Press Release and our ECPC's Overview on Cancer Screening.

ECPC welcomes the Council Conclusions agreed under the Slovenian Presidency with open arms. This is the first time that 27 EU Health Ministers have made a firm commitment to tackle cancer control at EU and Member States level. The Conclusions, which are very much in line with the European Parliament Resolution on cancer, call upon Member States to develop and implement comprehensive cancer strategies or plans.
