It means people don't have to disclose previous cancer diagnoses to banks and insurance companies, if a certain time has elapsed.
A proposal by an Irish MEP on the "right to be forgotten" for cancer survivors is a step closer to coming into force.
Amendments tabled by Deirdre Clune have been included and approved in the EU's Consumer Credit Directive.
The 'right to be forgotten' means people don't have to disclose previous cancer diagnoses to banks and insurance companies, provided a certain time has elapsed since the end of their treatment.
She is calling on all EU institutions and Member States to press financial service providers to develop such practices, so as not to discriminate against cancer patients and survivors, and to finally level the playing field.
