Towards true One Health
Enhancing One Health efforts through EU support mechanism
25 January 2023 | 14:00-16:00 | European Parliament, Brussels
The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), a temporary EU financial mechanism, is the key instrument at the heart of NextGenerationEU to support the sustainability and resilience of Member States in the COVID-19 pandemic recovery. Yet, it remains to be discussed how the use of the funds is invested in different countries, and whether the given support complements the principles of One Health. This roundtable event discussed how the implementation of the RRF is seen from different stakeholder perspectives, and to what extent it fulfils the aims of a One Health approach, through bringing together EU decisionmakers and Member State and civil society representatives.
The event was hosted by MEP István Ujhelyi.
