EU Regulators Should Use AI Only When ‘Safe And Responsible,’ Says EMA

Vincenza Trivigno will take over as executive director from Raimund Bruhin, who is retiring after over seven years in the post.

Stefan Oelrich, the newly-announced president of European pharma industry federation EFPIA says the EU pharma reform is “not an improvement on the status quo” in its current form.

Expanded confidential pricing for pharmaceuticals is intended to help manage medicines expenditure, according to Amgros, the procurement agency that will negotiate the prices.

Incentives for repurposed drugs proposed as part of the EU pharma reform package are a “great step forward,” but more recognition is needed from payers and regulators to leverage the benefits of these medicines, experts say.
