HMA Strategy Paper II (Draft 2010 for consultation)
The European Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) group is currently developing a second HMA strategy document for the period 2011-2015, which it aims to have finalised and published by the end of 2010. As part of the strategy development process, and in line with good practice, the HMA intends to consult with key stakeholder groups on the strategy’s content.
The aim of the consultation process is to give the HMA’s stakeholders an opportunity to feed into the strategy by commenting on existing content, and also by suggesting new areas for inclusion if they feel that anything substantial has been missed.
The consultation will run for a period of 3 weeks from 9th July to 30th July 2010.
After the consultation, the HMA’s Strategy Task Force will consider and evaluate the response, and revise the draft Strategy in time for the HMA meeting in Antwerp on 25/26 October 2010. At the Antwerp meeting, the HMA will consider and plan to endorse the Strategy and its implementation plan. The document should be ready for publication in November 2010.
Please send any comments you may have (if possible in English) on the draft Strategy to: hma-strategy-consultation@infarmed.pt
HMA Strategy Paper I (2006)
Developing the Heads of Medicines Agencies Strategy for the European Medicines Regulatory Network
HMA (Joint Human and Veterinary) formally adopted the HMA Strategy Paper on European Medicines Regulator Network (ERMN), which was drafted by the UK Presidency on behalf of the HMA. The HMA (Joint) agreed to the formation of an Implementation Group, which Jean Marimbert, Director General of the French medicines agency (AfSSAPS) agreed to chair along with members from 6 other member states. The group will be responsible for taking forward the work set out in the Strategy Paper.
The outcome of the consultation of the HMA Strategy Paper with partners and stakeholders was adopted at the November HMA meeting in Helsinki. With its publication the first consultation cycle of the HMA Strategy Paper is closed and HMA will define the appropriate mechanisms to start working on the next version of the HMA Strategy Paper taking into account the contributions of Partners and Stakeholders, whilst already implementing its main orientations.
