Resolutioner Radikale Venstre10/22/2023 ![]() In 1983, the National Board of Health issued a recommendation for an MMR vaccination program aimed at children ages 15 months and 12 years. Once urgency was established, medical data was presented to demonstrate the value of providing all three vaccines in a single inoculation Thus, the first step in the political process was the reframing of all three diseases as serious health threats, a task made easier by pressure placed by the World Health Organization on Denmark to contribute to its global campaign against measles. By contrast, the Danish health authorities considered measles and mumps trivial childhood diseases, and congenital rubella syndrome was solved by offering abortions to pregnant women who were infected. Using the multiple streams framework developed by John Kingdon, this article traces how MMR was placed on the political agenda and eventually introduced on a national scale.ĭuring the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, most Western countries had introduced vaccines against one or more of the diseases. In 1987, after a multi-year policymaking process, Denmark introduced the combined measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine into the childhood vaccination program. The introduction of MMR vaccinations in Denmark 1983-1987 Now, we set pace towards the Energy Union that once and for all will end our dependency on Russian gas, secure cheap green energy to European citizens and make significant contributions to Europe's green economy.Politicizing childhood diseases. Our push for improved infrastructure and cross-border energy exchange arrives with perfect timing. We are paving the way for a faster green transition by keeping the market at the centre of the reform. MEP Morten Helveg Petersen (Det Radikale Venstre, Denmark), Vice-Chair of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) and Renew Europe shadow on this file, stated: ![]() Finally, renewables, energy efficiency and energy infrastructures must also play a key role in enabling progress towards European energy sovereignty and the net-zero economy. The agreement also sets out the specific conditions for the Commission to declare an electricity price crisis at regional or Union level, which would allow Member States to increase market intervention on an exceptional basis. Moreover, our political group favoured the right to a wider choice of fixed-rate contracts to bring stability and predictability to consumers bills in the upcoming winters, while measures to curb short-term price peaks through power purchase agreements for industries and businesses, specially SMEs. In addition, our political group has succeeded in removing any cap on market revenues, preventing undue distortions to the efficient functioning of electricity markets, which would have only acted as a disincentive to green investments and delayed the climate and energy transitions. In this regard, the return to the EU's offshore wind strategy is a great triumph for our MEPs. Renew Europe has strongly advocated to maintain a market-based approach, without undermining the principles of flexibility and competition, to achieve a truly European future-proof electricity system integration, based on diverse infrastructure projects that produce, store, and distribute energy efficiently. Thanks to the unwavering commitment of Renew Europe, an agreement with the main political groups of the European Parliament has been reached in less than three months. The Renew Europe Group welcomes today´s adoption by the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy of the revised Electricity Market Design (EMD) framework, which aims to tackle the shortcomings of the EU energy market after the economic rebound following the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia´s weaponisation of gas supply in the wake of their invasion of Ukraine.
