the EU level</span> </strong></h5> <p>In this context it is important for European medical societies such as EFORT to engage with EU policy makers and other relevant stakeholders to be part of the debate around European legislations and initiatives and ensure their interests are taken into account.</p> <p>There are several ways for EFORT to play an active role.</p> <ul> <li>Through the <strong><a href="https://www.biomedeurope.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biomedical Alliance</a></strong> which represents 36 medical societies and acts as the representative organisation of scientific societies.</li> <li>Through direct contact with <strong><a href="https://commission.europa.eu/index_en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European Commission</a></strong>, especially on issues pertaining to healthcare delivery, medical devices, etc.</li> <li>Through involvement in <strong><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/projects-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EU-funded projects</a></strong>.</li> </ul> <p>The European Commission is particularly keen to co-operate with EFORT to gather expertise and evidence-based proposals that support decision making at both the <strong><a href="https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/country-profiles_en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EU and Member States level</a></strong>.</p> <p>In this context it is important for Pan EU medical societies to engage with EU policy makers and other relevant stakeholders to be part of the debate around these legislations and initiatives and ensure their interests are taking into account. The European Commission is particularly keen to co-operate with major international societies like EFORT to gather ‘real’ data and evidence-based proposals that support decision making at both the EU and Member States level.</p> <p>EFORT has therefore been active around the above issues by positively informing the debate and taking part in partnership projects to exchange best practice and position the orthopaedic and trauma community as a key partner in addressing health issues. The articles on this page give an overview of some of the current key EU health topics EFORT is closely following.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The EFORT Committee on European Affairs</span></strong></p> <p>Within EFORT, there exist a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.efort.org/about-us/committees/" target="_blank"><strong>committee</strong></a> dedicated on European affairs. It aims at following-up ongoing activities and projects at the European level.</p> <p>It is composed of delegates from national member societies who have interest in European affairs.</p> <p>It meets on a regular basis and addresses issues such as the Medical Device Regulation, Continuing Medical Education as well as the UEMS activities.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center">For more information about EFORT activities at the EU level, please contact: </p> <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="mailto: EU@efort.org?subject= EFORT & EU activities related message">EU@efort.org</a></strong></p> </div></div></div><div style="float:right;width:150px"> <div style="padding-left: 20px;
