Dutch drugmakers group debates media

The Netherlands' drugmakers association, Nefarma, is holding a debate at the Glazen Zaaldebat in The Hague on February 24 concerning the  "turbulent relationship" between the pharmaceutical sector and the  media. The event will bring together representatives of both parties and  is designed to allow each side to set out its critique of the other and  to respond with possible ways forward.

Representing Nefarma will be its secretary general, Luc Debruyne, while  Cor Groeneweg, head of public affairs and public relations for the  insurance union (Verbond van Verzekeraars), will present the viewpoint  of someone with both journalistic and corporate affairs experience. On  the media side will be Kees Driehuis, editor of a television documentary  program, Zembla, and Simon Rozendaal, a journalist with the Elsiever  group. The chairman will be Jeroen Smit, a journalist and author.
