International Conference on Health and Trade
Location: Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Conference dates: 10-11
December 2009
The International Conference on Healthcare and Trade will focus on the influence of the law of both the European Union and the World Trade Organization on trade in health services, health insurance services and health goods (pharmaceuticals). The application of the EC Treaty, the GATS and the TRIPS to national regulation of health services, health insurance services and pharmaceuticals raises questions of applicability of, compatibility with and possible exceptions to the provisions of these instruments. In these areas, these questions have not yet been answered conclusively and further research and discussion in this area is ongoing. The conference aims to contribute to the discussion, attempting to formulate both legal and economic answers to these questions.
The conference will be held at the Novotel Brainpark Rotterdam on the 10th of December and at the Erasmus University Campus on the 11th of December in Rotterdam.
