Press Release: European Medicines Agency launches new organisational structure and new visual identity

The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) officially unveiled a package of changes on 8 December 2009, with the launch of a new organisational structure and new visual identity.
Among the highlights of the new organisational structure is the integration of human pre- and post-authorisation activities into one unit, to guarantee seamless lifecycle-management of medicines. The creation of a new unit for patient health protection further strengthens the Agency’s focus on safety-monitoring of medicines. In addition, a dedicated group for the management of product data and documentation will improve the efficiency of data management processes throughout the Agency.
