COCIR establishes a desk in China

On 28th March 2007, the European Healthcare Trade Association (COCIR*) and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (European Chamber) announced the opening of a dedicated COCIR China desk in Beijing to support the development of a transparent and predictable regulatory framework for medical devices in China. This desk, hosted by the European Chamber and managed by Business Manager Maurizio Andreano, will allow COCIR to enhance dialogue and cooperation with the Chinese authorities.

China is an area of special interest for COCIR. “The ambition of China to develop a healthcare system that can match the tremendous growth of its economy is a major challenge to the medical industry. We believe that COCIR can bring solutions and share its expertise and experience from Europe and other regions” said Nicole Denjoy, COCIR Secretary General. Ian Kay, European Chamber Secretary General, expressed that he was delighted to cooperate with such a strong organization supporting the healthcare industry in Europe and as part of the European Chamber.

COCIR has been the voice of the healthcare and medical IT industry in the European Union since 1959 and is working to develop the future of healthcare in Europe and beyond.  COCIR, based in Brussels, represents the interests and activities of its members, global companies and SMEs as well as national trade associations, and acts as a channel for communication between all its members and the European institutions and other global regulatory bodies.

*COCIR promotes free worldwide trade of medical devices and encourages the use of advanced technology supporting cost-efficient healthcare delivery worldwide.
