At the request of Chinese government body AQSIQ (General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine) and the European Commission, COCIR will organise a one-day seminar on Medical Devices on 20 September 2006 at the COCIR Office in the Diamant Building, Brussels, Belgium. 

The aim of the seminar is to share information between China and the EU on medical device regulations and to provide an update to both sides.  COCIR also hopes the seminar will deepen mutual understanding as well as establishing better channels of communication between EU and China.

On the European side, officials from the European Commission DGs Enterprise and Environment will attend along with representatives from COCIR and the other European healthcare trade associations - EUCOMED, EDMA, EUROM and FIDE.  Some industry members of these associations will also be attending.
