Industry annual bilateral meetings

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) organises annual bilateral meetings with pharmaceutical industry associations. The purpose of the meetings is to exchange views and promote dialogue on high level and strategic topics of common interest.

These meetings complement those organised by EMA's Industry Standing Group and industry stakeholder meetings. 

While the Industry Standing group meetings focus on exchange of views and look to support the implementation of new legislative proposals, the industry stakeholder meetings have a more operational approach, discussing aspects linked to medicines development support, the centralised procedure and pharmacovigilance.
