8. As I look at the WG reports, despite the tough economic back drop that we have all faced, I am impressed by the progress we continue to make in our core activities. A combined approach of developing new documents, of keeping existing documents evergreen and of adopting new and creative ways to bring safety, health and environment matters to our members, employees and customers in a modern and meaningful way continues to be effectively adopted by our WGs and the industry experts that lead them and participate in them.

9. MGC Report Caroline Lloyd, 2009 Chairwoman of the Medical Gases Council The MGC has reviewed its mission, which is summarized below and this is now subject to approval by the Board of Directors: 1. To set standards for our industry and users in the safesupply and handling of medical gases and respiratory homecare services through the development of best practicesand the production of Medical Gases Council publications; 2. To provide regulatory agencies and healthcare providers with specialist advice on the standards used on the safe production, supply, handling and administration of medical gases and healthcare services in line with the pharmaceuticalindustry; 3. To promote our industry in the supply of medical gases and respiratory homecare services, focusing on the quality and efficacy of our products and services to enhance patient safety. As part of our stakeholder engagement programme we havefinalised a presentation which we will use when we meet these key stakeholders. A meeting is being set up with Enterprise and Industry Directorate General Consumer Goods, Unit F2 Pharmaceuticals in the European Commission. The purpose of the meeting is to highlight both the involvement and importance of EIGA in the medical gases business and explain some of the issues we encounter as an industry, e.g. the different interpretations by the pharmaceutical authorities of legislation and to the impact of its implementation on medical gases and homecare. Both Working Groups in the MGC continue to work on a number of items. The Medical Gases Working Group (WG-7) is focused on defining the validation requirements for ASUs, tanker filling and cylinder filling taking into account two reference documents, GAMP 5 and ICH 9 on Quality Risk Management. The Homecare Working Group (WG-10) is finalising the Good Homecare Practice which sets out the fundamental of safety and quality guidelines for homecare supply to patients.
