“The Spanish Presidency has four strategic goals: to introduce a global vision for an e-Health policy totally integrated in the post 2010 European Agenda; to drive a new eHealth Action Plan, facing the new European challenges; to develop and promote ministerial agreements, in particular regarding integration of e-Health in community policy and implementing reinforced governance.
2010 means a breaking point in EC institutional and policy development. Since December 1st we have a new Treaty, a new President and presidential structure. A new Commission will be in office on the following months. The Lisbon Agenda is coming to an end a whole series of strategic documents are being reviewed in the framework of a post 2010 Agenda. Work is also being made in face of the next financial and programming periods, in particular regarding Innovation, Research and Cohesion Policies. The Council Conclusions of the Swedish Presidency of 1st December mean a further step in the integration of e-Health in community Health policy.”
