The relations between EACCME and ESAB (European
Specialty Accreditation Boards)

  deal with the time of accreditation given by
  European Specialty Accreditation Boards and the
  UEMS Sections Accreditation Boards.

  enphasised by the representatives of the
  Specialty Accreditation Societies.

ESAB and NAA (National Accreditation Authorithies)

• In providing European credits under any
  circumstance the role of National Authorithies or
  professional UEMS Sections Accreditation Board
  cant be discussed.
• No Specialty Accreditation Board can operate
  withouth the aggreement and recognition of
  National Authorithies.

The problems with International Accreditation

• The most important problem relies in the prompt
  consideration of the request for CME credits by
  the UEMS Section of competence and on the invoice
  of EACCME accreditation once the request is
  accomplished.
• A better accomplishment of the Sections duties
  should enhance the importance of the EACCME and
  permit the accreditation with respect to the
  National Authorithies under which supervision
  most of the work of EACCME was successfully done.

Looking at the future

• An effort must be done in order to keep easy and
  practic European accreditation.
• This should be accomplished with the efforts of
  all involved bodies, but under the umbrella of
  European accreditation.
• The revenues can be used to meliorate the process
  and an Internet basis should be used to share
  common projects.
