ECHAMP Membership Assembly 2017

ECHAMP’s annual Membership Assembly was held in Berlin 24-25 April, bringing together members from around the EU for two days of meetings, annual formalities, networking and a delightful dinner cruise on the river Spree. It was a pleasure to welcome many CEOs from our member companies to a special workshop to discuss the future of our sector. Copies of the presentations, a report of the meeting and a selection of photographs of the event will shortly be available to full members on the ECHAMP website.

The Membership Assembly was chaired by Mathias Hevert, Board member of ECHAMP and Managing Director of Hevert Arzneimittel. Members voted unanimously in favour of welcoming a new French full member, Laboratoires Gilbert, a family owned company founded in 1904 that offers natural self-medication solutions for the whole family; its new range, ‘LG Homéo’, includes homeopathic medicines for the treatment of everyday ailments. This brings the total number of full members of ECHAMP to 46, from 19 different EU Member States.

Next year, the annual Membership Assembly will be held in Marseille, 16-17 April. The chair of the Membership Assembly will be Geoffroy Waroqueaux, of French member company, Sevene Pharma.
