Kick-off meeting (June 7-8, 2018): The aim of the meeting was to present the overview of the
project to the whole consortium and EC officers and define the preliminary and further actions

to be performed by the work packages (WP). The meeting was held in the Instituto Superiore
di Sanita, Rome, Italy. A brief description of the WPs is presented here.

Stefaan van der Spiegel (DG SANTE): “Over the last years, EU MS have done
a lot in the framework of other EU funded projects and Actions (VISTART, Eu-

ro-GTP II and ECCTR). The aim of this new Action is to build a comprehensive
framework for Competent Authorities for a common approach to Preparation
Process Authorisation for Blood, Tissues and Cells in the EU and the Commis-
sion will support the consortium, to achieve the objectives of the Action”.
