European Compliance Academy (ECA)
Advisory Board |
For that reason the ECA's Advisory Board Members decided in their annual meeting on 7 July 2006 to establish a new group: the European QP Association. With this association the ECA wants to provide QPs in Europe with a platform allowing them to exchange their experience, discuss the latest regulatory requirements, to identify and address difficulties and challenges and to support a harmonised European approach. The new Association will be lead by four representatives from the industry and from authorities: Richard Bonner, UK, Dr. Bernd Renger, Germany and John Taylor, MHRA, UK as well as Rudolf Völler from the GMP Inspectorate in Darmstadt, Germany. "Being the key person in the quality function of a pharmaceutical
company, the QP has to consider lots of issues to fulfil his
responsibilities and to comply with European legislation," said Dr.
Bernd Renger, Director Quality Control at Vetter Pharma-Fertigung GmbH,
Germany, and ECA Advisory Board Member. "Due to the increase and
scope of these responsibilities we saw a need for a Europe wide exchange
forum," he continued. |
To accomplish its goals, the Association plans on organising annual QP
Forums. |
