Prescrire is taking action at the European level

Via its policy advocacy, Prescrire acts as a force for change in health policies, first and foremost in the interest of patients. Summaries of three such actions undertaken at the European level were published in Prescrire International's July-August issue.

European legislation on orphan drugs and paediatric drugs

  • Prescrire has contributed to a public consultation organised by the European Commission prior to a revision of this legislation.

The European health-data space

  •  Prescrire took part in a public consultation by the European Commission aimed at establishing a legal framework for digital health data and services.

Access to EMA documents

  • A video conference was held between the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Prescrire to discuss the delays in dealing with our requests for access to documents.

Summaries available for download below.
