De danske socialdemokrater er stærkt i tvivl om relevansen af, at Europa-Parlamentet i det hele taget udtaler sig om den ikke-konventionelle medicins status. Dels fordi vi ikke er blevet bedt om en udtalelse, og dels fordi den underliggende dagsorden kan være, at flere behandlere ved hjælp af en EU-blåstempling skal kunne nyde godt af de offentlige sygesikringskasser, og her mener vi overhovedet ikke, at EU har eller skal have kompetence til at blande sig.
The Danish social democrats seriously doubt the relevance of the European Parliament expressing any views at all on the status of non-conventional medicine, partly because we have not been asked for an opinion, and partly because the subtext here may be that many practitioners could benefit from public health insurance schemes with the help of recognition from the EU, and we do not think that the EU has or should have any powers at all to become involved.
