Abstract
Sirs—European directives and laws determine more and more the conditions for epidemiological research within Europe. The International Epidemiological Association (IEA) aimed to investigate whether these directives facilitate or hinder epidemiological research in Europe. It goes without saying that European epidemiologists, with a large variety of different exposures related to living conditions, occupations, diet, lifestyles, and health care between EU countries, are in a good position to produce more and better research if they get access to data from morbidity and mortality registers.Keywords
