In light of the corona pandemic, the EU must prioritize infection control issues in its foreign and security policy. Three environmental pro-EU MPs and Björn Olsen, professor of infectious diseases, are required in a debate article in Dagens Nyheter.
Parliamentarians Alice Bah Kuhnke, Jakop Dalunde and Pär Holmgren, along with Olsen, believe that infection control should be taken more seriously. It should be a top priority in the Union, according to the signatories, who point out, among other things, that Brussels should put pressure on individual countries with deficiencies in animal husbandry and the use of antibiotics.
The EU should make tougher demands on countries and other actors on the issues when negotiating, for example, free trade agreements, the article says. Furthermore, the authors of the article want Brussels to push for a globally legally binding agreement that addresses infection control and antibiotic resistance.
