"Europe needs a strong and competitive pharmaceutical industry because a strong and competitive industry is necessary to deliver innovative medicines for the benefit of public health. Without a strong industry the incurable diseases of today will remain incurable. Competitiveness drives innovation and innovation saves lives. A strong industry will not only benefit the health of Europeans, but will also improve the lives of Europeans through the creation of high quality employment and wealth."



Günter Verheugen
Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for Enterprise and Industry, 10 Years of EMEA - London 11 March 2005
