Testimonials

New insights in legislation, on ePI and how to be compliant with labelling.

Nice update on what is going on, exchange of experience between participants and presenters.

Very interesting insights, from different perspective.

There is not so much that can be improved. It was a well structured and organised conference on labelling topics.

I will recommend this conference to my colleagues and I am convinced we will take part at ExpertFORUM Labelling the next year.
