AGENCY SATELLITE SESSION
FOCUS ON SMALL AGENCIES AND SMALL MARKETS
Session Chair
Sif Ormarsdóttir, CHMP, European Medicines Agency, Clinical Assessor,
Medicines Control Agency, Iceland
The particular position and the challenges of small agencies are highlighted in
presentations that address the pros and cons of being small in the current
European regulatory environment. In what ways has the legislation of the
European regulatory system benefited small agencies and how can small
agencies cope with challenges in balancing between constantly growing
national and EU needs? On the other hand, the mandate to contribute to the
network, in particular to the European Medicines Agency activities is another
source of set of challenges. Different solutions to fulfill the functions of an EU
regulatory agency in 2010 are presented. The pharmaceutical industries
experience with small agencies is presented. Drug availability in small markets
is an issue and the role of small agencies and the responsibility of industry to
improve the access of drugs are discussed.
