Europe will “see the pandemic coming” next time - Clune

Beefed up EU agencies will help protect us from future pandemics – that’s according to Fine Gael MEP, Deirdre Clune. The European Medicines Agency has played a central role during covid, responsible for licencing treatments and vaccines. Now its remit could be extended. The European Parliament will debate the plans in a debate this afternoon. The proposals would see the EMA gain new powers to spot drug shortages and prepare for possible health crises. Ireland South MEP, Deirdre Clune, is convinced it will buffer Europe from future dangers.
