Conflicts of interest and corruption at the European Medicines Agency

Dear Ema and / or EU,

many know that it is a fact that the EU/EMA has lots of "conflicts of interest"
It is even said the American medical industry is jelous of the European situation. It is open knowledge that directors of EMA were/are involved with "big pharma". So I guess I do not need to quote many sources for this, but here is a newer report on the issue:

"Conflits d’intérêt et corruption à l’Agence européenne du médicament"
Source: "France Soir"
"Conflicts of Interest and Corruption at the European Medicines Agency"
Sources: "Liberty Beacon" and "Europe Reloaded"

My request:
Any and all documents/data/explainations etc. how this can be possible and how the EU/EMA safeguards that there is still some "neutral" decission making in effect. Also documents about how much € the EMA gets from the pharma and/or chemical industries (here in the years 2018,2019 and 2020).

Pls. provide every document related to above issues, I am ok with the redaction of personal info and prefer eg. PDF or Word documents.

Thanks

Dear Mr Antragsteller/in, Thank you for your recent request for information. We can provide you with the following information on your 2 questions **Any and all documents/data/explainations etc. how this can be possible and how the EU/EMA safeguards that there is still some "neutral" decission making in effect.** Independence of Management Board members, committee members and experts and EMA staff is safeguarded by strict conflict of interest policies and high level of transparency. EMA’s policies on handling competing interests ([https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/about-us... ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/about-us... )]) have been put in place to restrict the involvement of Management Board members, committee members and experts and EMA staff with possible competing interests in the Agency’s work while maintaining EMA’s ability to access the best available expertise. We would invite you to check out these documents that contain further information on EMA’s measures to safeguard independence. Please note that Management Board members, members and experts of EMA’s committees, working parties and scientific advisory groups or ad hoc expert groups and EMA staff members submit a declaration of interests prior to any involvement in EMA activities or recruitment. The declarations of interests of all Management Board members, committee members and experts who take part in EMA activities, and EMA senior management are published on the EMA website ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en ). EMA also publishes annual reports (2020 report: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... )) on its independence, which include facts and figures on declared interests and resulting restrictions. **Also documents about how much € the EMA gets from the pharma and/or chemical industries (here in the years 2018,2019 and 2020).** As you may already know, European legislation requires that pharmaceutical companies contribute to the costs of regulation of medicines. As the companies will earn revenues from the sales of medicines, it is fair that they should bear most of the financial costs of regulating them. Companies pay an administrative fee upfront before EMA assessment starts. The administrative fee applicable for each procedure is defined by EU legislation. We would like to refer youto this web page [https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/about-us... ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/about-us... )] where you can find several information regarding the financial and budgetary reports from the European Medicines Agency. More specifically section 4.5 at page 25 of the Agency’s annual accounts 2020 provides a breakdown of the fees by major categories ([https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... )]). A similar report is available for the year 2019 ([https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... )] ) and 2018  ([https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... ( https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/document... )]). We hope that this information is useful for you.

Well ok seems at least you provide somewhat usefull info, contrary to the German institutions like RKI or PEI. I still would not trust the E.U. much personnaly sorry for that. Perhaps in the future some more neutral persons and not connected to industries or banks etc. can be employed as leading personnel. Just a simple idea to improve confidence in the EU.
