The European Network, the People’s Health Movement, and all signatory organizations call for unitary responses on the local, national, and international level to build a "Day After" that will break with the liberal recipes of the past. We propose to the social movement as a whole to set a date in September 2020 as the first international initiative for the expression of our demands.

03.04.2020 - Commercialization is seriously harming our health
Every year, the European Network organizes actions on 7 April, World Health Day. We call it the Day of Action against the Commercialization of Health. At the same time we also try to reach our European representatives with our analyses and demands. This year, we planned a conference in the European Parliament. But the COVID-19 crisis was one step ahead of us. On the occasion of the "white sheet" action on 7 April, which we organize as an alternative to our annual actions, we submitted a number of topical questions to Brando Benifei, italian MEP for the European socialists, who answered our questions willingly. He shines light on how the Socialists will position themselves within the European Parliament.
Every year, the European Network organizes actions on 7 April. 7 April is World Health Day. We call it the Day of Action against the Commercialization of Health. At the same time we also try to reach our European representatives with our analyses and demands. This year, we planned a conference in the European Parliament together with Petra De Sutter on the accessibility of health. But the CODIV-19 crisis was one step ahead of us. As an alternative on our annual actions we are organizing a white sheet action and submitted a number of questions to Petra De Sutter, who answered our questions very willingly. She gives us some working points for which the European Greens, in response to this sanitary crisis, will fight for within the European Parliament.
Today, more than ever, it is urgent to act. The COVID-19 outbreak shows us the importance of coordinated action. What we need now is a strong solidarity-based health system for all and coordination that surpasses national borders, with effective action on a European and a global level.
We have decided to cancel all physical gatherings and actions for this year’s 7 April.
But we call on everybody to show their support for our call to "spread solidarity, not the virus" with a "white sheet" action on 7 April
The mission of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is the efficacy testing and the ongoing supervision of medicines for the benefit of citizen health in the European Union.
In spite of the clear relevance of an institution like the EMA, the rules governing its functioning and their compliance with health protection goals have never been given a priority in the political agenda, even by the left wing forces.
The Italian branch of the European Network propose several recommandations on how to improve this European agency which has a great impact on national health systems and the cost of medecines.

Tool to contact your Member of the European Parliament
The European Network calls on your local or national testimonies on the commodification of health and its negative consequences on access to health, the quality of health services, workers and health users with the aim of raising awareness among a wide audience of politicians, professionals and citizens in the context of 7 April 2020, day of action against health commercialization.
Civil society organisations from across sectors, such as health, development, environment, food, agriculture, social affairs, trade, have developed a Guide & Phonebook on how newly elected Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) can improve people’s health in Europe and beyond by ensuring the implementation of a Health in All Policies approach.
Here you can find some documents and tools that can help you to submit the Pledge for signatory to your candidates for the European elections, as well as your national and local political representatives.

Corporations have their own global private court system – called ISDS – which they use to bully governments. But many victims of corporate human rights abuses don’t have any way of winning justice.

The Barcelona Declaration of the European Network against Privatization and Commercialization of Health and Social Protection, on the occasion of the meeting on 16 and 17 November 2018.
The European Network calls on trade union organisations, networks, collectives and delegations in Europe to continue and intensify actions against the commodification of health and social protection and to join the European Year "For our Health" launched on 7 April 2018.
The European Network against the commercialization and privatization of health and social protection and the Belgian Platform for action on health and solidarity are supporting the European election Manifesto of the European Alliance for Responsible R&D and Affordable Medicines.
EU investments need to be driven by public health needs and ensure the accessibility, availability and affordability of the R&D results. Open science, including open data and access to publications, should be adopted as standard practice.

In child protection, specialized prevention, housing, social centres, local missions... the social is burning!
Everywhere, women employees are mobilizing to denounce the breakdown of the social sector, the destruction of public services, the drastic reduction of budgets in associations and the destructive arrival of the financial world and commercial privatization in the social sector.
In Lille on 11 December 2018, let us make the voice of our camp heard, the voice of social and medico-social employees, the voice of the people and families we support.
