This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the EU's approach to tackling public health issues, using asthma as a case example. The authors show how the EU can – and does – exert substantial influence on health issues via EU policy measures in related fields such as environment, health research and the European-wide regulation of medicinal products through the European Medicines Agency. The report critically examines these initiatives and presents proposals on how the EU's activities could be streamlined and improved.
