WRITTEN QUESTION E-2576/02
by Kathleen Van Brempt (PSE) to the Commission
(16 September 2002)
Subject: Reimbursement for Viagra
The sickness insurance scheme under which 45 000 European officials are covered has just decided to reimburse the cost of the impotence pill Viagra on certain conditions. It is the first sickness insurance scheme in Europe to do so. According to the French newspaper ‘Le Monde’, the decision was taken at a time when the scheme, which is two-thirds financed by the EU, is showing a deficit for the first time in its history.
How many European officials are eligible for reimbursement for Viagra?
Why does the Commission consider it necessary to include Viagra in its sickness insurance cover?
If erectile dysfunction is a problem, should the EU not take steps intended to lead to the introduction of reimbursement for Viagra by sickness insurance schemes in all the Member States?
