Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta has stressed the importance of access to medicines in a report on what is next for Europe’s single market.

Equity of medicine access, sustainable pricing and procurement models for supply and European Union (EU)-wide funds for domestic investments in medicine manufacturing are all encouraged in the Report on the Future of the Single Market.

The Letta Report calls on the EU to strengthen the market to improve access to medicines, building on the EU Pharmaceutical Strategy. Timely patient access to more generic and biosimilar medicines should be priorities in the legislative review and in the next institutional cycle.
