Who we are
EMVO
We secure patient safety
Our mission
The infiltration of falsified medicines in the European supply chain is a major and continuous threat for the patient health and security. Because patient health and safety are of the utmost importance to the pharmaceutical industry, a comprehensive strategy at European Level is required. Therefore, the European Medicines Verification Organisation (EMVO) was created as a joint initiative of EU stakeholders, representing manufacturers (Medicines for Europe, EFPIA, Affordable Medicines Europe), wholesalers (GIRP) and community pharmacists (PGEU).
Established in 2015, EMVO was mandated by our stakeholders with setting up and running the European Hub. The main purpose of the European Hub is to store master data and act as a gateway for the transmission of manufacturer data to the national systems.

European Medicines Verification System
Introduction to the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS)
The European Parliament and Council introduced Directive 2011/62/EU to combat the infiltration of falsified medicines into the legal supply chain. This directive mandates the implementation of the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS) to ensure medication authenticity. Manufacturers are required to upload unique identifiers via the European Hub for verification in National Medicines Verification Systems. Technical and quality standards, including system interoperability and data access, have been established by stakeholders.
The EMVS guarantees medicines authenticity by an end-to-end verification.
