Europarlamentarios españoles participan en nuevas acciones para el cumplimento de la Resolución (2020/2580(RSP))
El Europarlamentario belga, Pascal Arimont, exhorta la necesidad de que las recomendaciones de la Resolución del Parlamento Europeo, de 18 de junio de 2020, sobre la financiación adicional para la investigación biomédica de la encefalomielitis miálgica (2020/2580(RSP)) se conviertan finalmente en acciones significativas.
El objetivo principal de estas cartas es el de incluir la Encefalomielitis Miálgica/Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica en la Red Europea de Referencia (RER) de enfermedades neurológicas.
Se dirigía así a la Directora General de Salud y Seguridad Alimentaria:

The main objective of these letters is to include Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the European Reference Network (ERN) for neurological diseases.
Since ME/CFS is seriously under-researched, patients would greatly benefit from a network that would allow the scarce physicians specialized in this disease to share knowledge and experiences. […] Exchanging experiences could at least partially improve the quality of life of patients. Furthermore, as it is known that ME/CFS can be triggered by a viral infection, scientists are convinced that the COVID-19 pandemic will boost the importance of knowledge exchange in this field. […]Since we assume that your Directorate-General and the Commission’s employees should take such a citizen’s request seriously, and that the patients concerned have a right to information and clarification, we would like to ask you to give us an answer to these very relevant questions.
The Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Stella Kyriakides, was also addressed to highlight the lack of results following the European Parliament’s resolution of 18 June 2020 on biomedical funding for Myalgic encephalomyelitis:
