Abstract
In this chapter, we compare the challenges and best practices identified in the country chapters so that the in-depth analysis of selected Member States is complemented with a broader overview. In doing so, we aim to provide a better understanding of the practical implementation of the new European Union (EU) pharmacovigilance legislation across Member States.
