(23) The Programme should be implemented in full respect of the principle of transparency and with a reasonable balance between its different objectives. The way the budget is allocated between objectives should be proportional to the benefits we may expect regarding the improvement of European citizens' health. Appropriate actions covered by the programme's specific objectives and with a clear EU added value should be selected and funded by the Programme. The annual work programmes should set out, in particular, the essential selection criteria applicable to the potential beneficiaries, in accordance with the Financial Regulation, in order to ensure they have the financial and operational capacity to undertake activities financed under the Programme, and, where appropriate, the evidence required to demonstrate their independence.

(10) In the context of an ageing society, well-directed investments to promote health and prevent diseases can increase the number of ‘healthy life years’ and thus enable the elderly to continue working as they grow older. Chronic diseases are responsible for over 80% of premature mortality in the EU. By identifying, disseminating and promoting the up-take of validated best practices for cost-effective prevention measures focused on the key risk factors, namely smoking, abuse of alcohol and obesity, obesity and internal and external air pollution, as well as on HIV/AIDS, the Programme will contribute to prevent diseases and promote good health, also bearing in mind underlying factors of a social and environmental nature.
