New European QP Association Counts more than 350 Members already

 
The European QP Association was founded in July. Within only 10 weeks more than 350 QPs and individuals preparing to become QP from all over Europe already signed up for a membership. The members represent all major pharmaceutical companies as well as small and medium sized businesses.

In addition to QPs from EU member states, QPs from EU member candidates and proposed candidates can also become members/associate members. Guest and Observer are additional membership statuses applicable to other countries that may be involved in certification and batch release of medicinal products.

The following two diagrams show the member and the associate member/guest structure.

To accomplish its goals, the Association plans on organising annual QP Forums. The inaugural Qualified Person Forum will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 30 November to 1 December 2006. The programme as well as more information on the new association can be found on the website at European Qualified Person Association under QP Forum.
