The Noordwijk Workshop was organised to focus on the development of lobby
strategies and tools to implement the "Code" on national level. Having obtained
political endorsement of the "Code" and its Consensus Papers by the European
Institutions, the Noordwijk objective for EMSP (European Multiple Scleroris
Platform) was to translate what has been achieved on European level into
national legislation and daily practice. The report which is now available
covers the promotional aspects of the "Code", the MS Barometer and some new
tools to be used on national level (f.i. for taking advantage of media
campaign).
Member societies will receive a printed copy of the report
while Noordwijk participants and MS supporters can print from the site.
