Conference Vetting System

APPEALS

Appeals to the Compliance Panel may be filed when an event has been assessed not compliant by the Compliance Officers. The Compliance Panel acts as the final decision-making instance.

An appeal to the Compliance Panel may be filed by a Third Party Educational Event Organiser or a MedTech Europe member provided that the following requirements are respected:

  • Appeals must be filed within 10 days after the final assessment by the Compliance Officers. This applies for Pre-Clearance and Regular Submissions. The final assessment of the Compliance Officers is published on EthicalMedTech website calendar. 
  • The formal appeal with supporting documentation must be addressed to Mr. Jean-Claude Najar, Chair of the Compliance Panel, and
    • for submissions in the old platform sent by email to dhana.ong@ethicalmedtech.eu and sara.abanto@ethicalmedtech.eu. The subject of the email must contain “APPEAL & EMT number of the event”.
    • for submission in the new platform CVS/e4ethics 2.0, it must be done in the platform using the icon for appeals (only 1 file may be uploaded, if needed).

The Compliance Panel acts as a last decision-making instance and endeavours to respond to appeals within 5 working days of receipt. The role of the Compliance Panel is defined in the MedTech Europe Code’s Procedural Framework and Internal Procedure document.
