EUthyroid held a policy meeting in Brussels on April 28, in order to promote harmonisation of iodine deficiency (ID) prevention programmes in Europe. Presentations from Henry Völzke (University Medicine Greifswald, DE), John Lazarus (Iodine Global Network, CA) and Rodrigo Moreno-Reyes (Erasme-ULB, BE) summarised the aims of EUthyroid, the current iodine status in Europe and a review of ID from the past to the present. Yvette Azzopardi (DG SANTE, BE) reviewed the legal issues around the ability of the EU to advise and legislate concerning health related topics.
