Casa Llotja de Mar

The Casa Llotja de Mar will provide an outstanding setting for the start of
the event. It is located on the sea front in the historical center of Barcelona
and is one of the most significant and splendid monuments representing
the economy and culture of the city.
It was built in the second-half of the 14th century, the most brilliant period
of Catalan Gothic and served as the citys medieval stock exchange (more
affectionately known as La Llotja). The centrepiece of the premise is the fine
Gothic Sal de Contractacions (Contracts Hall), where the opening dinner
of the 51st AESGP Annual Meeting will take place.
These and five other halls were encased in a neoclassical shell in the 18th
century. The stock exchange was in action until well into the 20th century
and the building remains in the hands of the citys chamber of commerce.

Self-care medical devices and food supplements:


New drivers for the self-care market?
Substance-based, self-care medical devices and food supplements have become
an important part of self-care. However, their regulatory future is uncertain. The
current revision of the medical device legislation addresses the adequate future
legal basis for substance-based medical devices with different approaches under
consideration. In the area of food supplements, the evaluation of botanical claims
continues to be put on hold with uncertainties for the whole marketplace including in particular herbal medicinal products, for which an elaborated system has
been put in place in the European Union. The session will give an overview on
where the debate stands and what the likely future environment will be.

At the European level, the adoption of
Food Supplements Directive in 2002
created a legal basis for food supplements, providing general advertising
and labelling principles as well as listing vitamins and minerals and their
sources authorised in food supplements.
For the time being, important elements for this market place remain
within the national responsibility, including minimum and maximum levels
of vitamins and minerals, and the permission to use other substances, i.e.
substances other than vitamins and
minerals such as herbals, fatty acids,
amino acids, probiotics.
Nutrition and health claims on food
and food supplements in the EU
Food supplements are regulated in the
EU as food and must comply with a
legislative framework applicable to
foods.

26

This includes in particular the legal


provisions on nutrition and health
claims which are often used in labelling, advertising and promotion of
food supplements and other foods.
The EU Claims Regulation was adopted
in 2006 aiming to protect the consumer from misleading or inaccurate
claims but also to allow the industry to
use truthful and scientifically substantiated claims as a competitive marketing
tool. In the EU, food supplements cannot bear claims unless they are authorised.
In order to get an EU authorisation, all
health claims must be submitted to
EFSA to undergo scientific assessment
carried out by the EFSA Scientific Panel
on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and
Allergies (NDA). A health claim dossier
shall include information on food characteristics, health relationship, conditions of use and pertinent scientific
data which form the basis for the substantiation of a claim.
Following a scientific assessment by
EFSA, health claims are authorised by
the European Commission and the EU
Member States. The authorisation decision is then subject to the scrutiny of
the European Parliament and the
Council. Authorised and nonauthorised claims are published in the
Official Journal of the EU and in the on
-line EU Register of Claims.

Background information

Medical devices
Substance-based medical devices include devices such as nasal sprays primarily used on sufferers, often infants
with cold symptoms and blocked nose,
denture adhesives, dentifrices for sensitive teeth, verruca and wart removers,
gels for vaginal discomfort, lozenges to
treat throat discomfort, flushing solutions, creams used to treat or prevent
minor skin irritations, anti-snoring
sprays, or anti-flatulence products acting by a chemico-physical mode of
action. They are currently placed in the
market in accordance with the essential requirements of Directive 93/42/EC
on medical devices.
European Commission
In September 2012, the European
Commission proposed two new regulations on medical devices and on in
vitro medical devices, with the intention of replacing the existing legal
framework for Medical Devices Directives.
The proposal suggested a new rule in
the Annex VII Classification criteria UHDGLQJ WKDW Devices that are
composed of substances or combination
of substances intended to be ingested,
inhaled or administered rectally or vaginally and that are absorbed by or dispersed in the human body are in class
III (rule 21) and a point 9.2 of the
annex I General safety and perfor-

28

mance requirements GHPDQGLQJ


compliance of these devices with the
relevant requirements laid down in
Annex I to Directive 2001/83/EC on
medicinal products.
European Parliament
Under the ordinary legislative procedure, the European Parliament and the
Council (Member States) examine the
Commissions proposal and have the
possibility to introduce amendments to
it.
The European Parliaments Committee
for the Environment, Public Health and
Food Safety, lead Committee on this
file, started discussing the proposed
regulations in 2012. The first reading
position of the European Parliament
was adopted in a plenary session in
April 2014 under the rapporteurship of
Dagmar Roth-Behrendt.
Amongst others, the report proposes
the deletion of Rule 21 in Annex VII,
and of the reference to Annex I to Directive 2001/83/EC on medicinal products.
A new European Parliaments negotiating team led by the Member of the
European Parliament and new rapporteur on the file Glenis Willmott (UK)
was appointed further to the European
Parliaments election in May 2014.

Background information

Council of the EU (Member States)


The Council has been examining the
proposed regulations under the leadership of the latest six Presidencies of the
Council of the European Union, respectively Cyprus, Ireland, Lithuania, Greece,
Italy, and Latvia. The Councils preparatory body in charge of the file is the
Working Party on Pharmaceuticals
and Medical Devices composed of
representatives of the 28 Member
States Ministries of Health/ National
Competent Authorities.
New provisions on substance-based
medical devices proposed by the Latvian Presidency were discussed and examined by the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER) in
March 2015, however not adopted.
These included the following Rule 21

Switching: A mega trend?

These are key questions for many executives in the consumer health industry.
The session will follow up on the 2014 London conference and expose recent
positive developments and what needs to be done to keep the momentum.

Thursday 28 May 2015


14:00-15:45

How to ensure availability of safe products?

Over the last years, there has been an unprecedented increase in discussions
about safety issues on the European level, the so-called referral procedures.
Questions were raised as to whether all these procedures are justified and if they
do not unnecessarily question existing products and hamper the move to nonprescription status. The session will also look at the intensive ongoing work in
relation to the implementation of the directive on falsified medicines with potentially considerable implications in the marketplace.

GOOD OTC

TRAINING KNOWS
NO BOUNDARIES...
OHow well do pharmacists and health
advisors really know your products?
ODo they fully understand all
indications and benefits?
OWhat are the advantages over
unbranded alternatives?
OWhy should they recommend
your product?

understand that professional OTC training
can transform a products sales success.
For nearly 40 years, we have been a leading
provider of specialist multi-award winning
training to major national and international

programmes, pharmacist engagement tools
or multi-language web-based e-learning
hubs, we have the know-how, experience
and talent to create and deliver behaviour
