Question for written answer E-000390/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Merja Kyllönen (The Left)
The EU Care Strategy was welcomed and adopted in 2022, explicitly recognising the huge and indispensable contribution of informal carers and proposing specific support measures to enable the provision of this care. Indeed, as indicated by the Commission, 80 % of long-term care across the EU is provided by informal carers.
During her recent parliamentary hearing, Commissioner Roxana Mînzatu announced her plan to come forward with a ‘European care deal’, ensuring that professional as well as informal carers are paid and protected.
Can the Commission clarify:
How this future care deal will relate to the 2022 EU Care Strategy?
