Csaba Kontor, Health Attaché, Permanent Representation of Hungary to the EU


In November 2020, the European Commission adopted the Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe. As the Commission claims, the strategy aims at creating a future proof regulatory framework and at supporting industry in promoting research and technologies that actually reach patients in order to fulfil their therapeutic needs while addressing market failures. It will also take into account the weaknesses exposed by the coronavirus pandemic and take appropriate actions to strengthen the system.

The Hungarian Permanent Representation will give an insight of the actions envisages in the document and touch upon connections with other initiatives such as the European Health Data Space.
