The pre-assessments all include the following aspects:

Through e4ethics, EFPIA “supports monitoring of multinational events in Europe, by pre-assessing events with regard to the EFPIA HCP Code” and that companies who belong to EFPIA are encouraged to consult e4ethics and should be mindful of the applicable rules and provisions when deciding whether to sponsor, participate in, or collaborate in, an event.ĮFPIA initially focused on major international events taking place in Europe (i.e., events in which healthcare professionals of more than five countries take part) and which are expected to attract a significant number of participants. Now, however, Eucomed has started to analyze United States conferences, under the radar. We have also known about Eucomed’s Ethical MedTech, which has a similar system in place for conferences in Europe. The conference programme may be consulted here and the registration form completed here.We have known for awhile that the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) tracks and assesses industry events for compliance with the EFPIA code. The conference will include the participation of various specialists and the representatives of European institutions such as the European Commission, the European Medicines Agency, and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) of the European Parliament, along with representatives of Portuguese institutions such as Infarmed, the national medicines authority. The goal of this initiative – which will take place in virtual format on 29 and 30 April – is to define the priorities for concrete action that can better and more effectively promote access to medicines and medical devices throughout the European Union.
