EMA celebrates 30 years of progress in science and medicines in the European Union

On 26 January 1995, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) began operating as a leading regulatory authority in the European Union. EMA's mission has remained consistent over its 30-year history: to ensure that EU citizens and animals have access to high-quality, safe, and effective medicines when needed. Over three decades, EMA has navigated significant scientific, technological, legislative, and social changes in the healthcare environment.
