EU Legislative Interests

Barleti University plans to join the EU’s Critical Medicines Alliance (European Commission’s Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA)). The main objective of the Alliance is to prevent and address shortages of critical medicines in Europe. The Alliance will bring together all relevant stakeholders, and work to strengthen cooperation between the Commission, national governments, industry, and civil society. It will identify the challenges, priorities for action, and possible policy solutions to the issue of shortages of critical medicines in the EU. The Alliance is a consultative mechanism that will also act as a network to accelerate the delivery of EU action in this field. The alliance will work to address major industrial challenges by: • Exploring how to diversify global supply chains through strategic international partnerships; • Boosting Europe’s capacity to produce and innovate in the manufacturing of critical medicines and their ingredients, in coordinated way; • Developing a common strategic approach to medicines stockpiling in the EU; • Helping to leverage and align EU and national funding to implement solutions to medicines shortages.
