In its on-going effort to help integrate the eastern European countries into the fabric the EU, the EGA co-organised with the Association of Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Manufacturers (ABPhM) the 1st South East Europe Pharmaceutical Symposium on 21 April in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Joint efforts such as the South East Europe Symposium are highly effective instruments for preparing the affordable medicines industry for the Europe of tomorrow.”

GA membership has boasted countries from Eastern Europe since 1998. Perry went on to say that “We are proud of our work within EGA to foster greater cooperation and harmonisation throughout Europe in the lead up to accession.”
