This proposal presents a unique opportunity to ensure a degree of harmonisation throughout the European Union, thereby leading to faster patient access to new innovative medicines and synergies in clinical evidence generation needs and assessment by Member States.

Johnson & Johnson (JnJ) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the proposed HTA Regulation. Our companies provide innovative technologies across the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Diagnostic sectors, advancing the health and well-being of people around the world. A significant proportion of our technologies are therefore in scope of the Regulation.
BEUC comments to European Commission’s proposal Regulation Health Technology Assessment The European Consumers Organization (BEUC) welcomes the European Commission’s proposal on Health Technology Assessment (HTA). Too many new drugs or medical devices do not make a real difference compared to those already on the market but are nonetheless reimbursed by healthcare systems.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers can benefit from a single European HTA process, as the different national and regional requirements pose major challenges for companies. The starting point and duration of the HTA process and clinical requirements within the EU Member States vary.

Concerning the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on EU health technology assessment (HTA) and amending Directive 2011/24/EU, Global Medic Force sees this as a very necessary step to address the current qualitative and quantitive inequalities evinced in healthcare availability, diagnostic, prevention and delivery inequities within member states.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
