On behalf of the Board - greetings from IPOPI.

This e-update is later than we expected but only because we have been so very busy! The Board enjoyed and participated in the IPPC meeting in Paris in early March where issues relating to product safety, availability and affordability were looked at closely - and of course it also gave an ideal opportunity for the Board to meet and share views.

This is the second time I assist in representation of my association to this kind of Conference so it has been a real a privilege from all points of view because it gives me the possibility to see the enormous effort made by ESID, INGID and IPOPI working together.
