Event Introduction
Transparency requirements are taking on global dimensions.
There has been a push for public transparency over the past
decade of interactions between the pharmaceutical and life
sciences industries and healthcare professionals and organisations.
Government authorities and voluntary self-regulatory industry
groups assert that enhancing the transparency of these interactions
will promote compliant behavior and thus mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Transparency and disclosure requirements
have generally been country-specific, focusing primarily on
payments and transfers of value to HCPs and HCOs licensed
by or located within a specific country. However, the industry
has begun to develop initiatives to harmonize transparency and
disclosure requirements across geographic borders.
This conference will serve as a platform to discuss compliance
and transparency areas of key concern. Discuss with leading
speakers disclosure requirements, do‘s and don‘ts when
defining a transparency framework, how to prevent corruption,
the challenges in emerging markets, how to monitor third
parties, etc. Do not hesitate, take this great networking
opportunity and join us in Zürich!

11:10 The Legal Perspective – The Challenges of Data
Protection
The EFPIA Code has raised data protection issues as HCP
names and affiliations are recognised as personal data,
and, throughout Europe, data protection laws set out
roughly the same conditions regarding the use of personal
data. In this session we will take a closer look at the
interaction of transparency and data protection rules in
Europe and address what steps pharmaceutical companies
need to take to ensure they remain compliant.
