The Association of the European Self-Medication Industry (AESGP) is the official representation of manufacturers of non-prescription medicines and food supplements in Europe.
AESGP was founded in Paris on 3 February 1964 to contribute to the improvement of responsible self-medication at the European level and to ensure that the views and interests of the manufacturers of non-prescription medicines and self-care products - including food supplements and self-care medical devices - in Europe are recognised in pharmaceutical and health matters.
AESGP maintains regular contacts on behalf of its members with all relevant institutions inside and outside Europe. These include the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions at European Union level, as well as the Council of Europe and the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & Healthcare (including the European Pharmacopoeia). Important partners are also the European Medicines Agency and the European Food Safety Authority.
AESGP is systematically consulted by these bodies during the drafting stage on measures related to pharmaceutical and health matters. The Association studies these drafts and provides comments where appropriate.
AESGP is composed of national organisations (full members) and several associate members representing primarily the main international companies operating in the area of self-care.
The following countries are represented in AESGP:
Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
