Sažetak
This chapter assesses provider conflicts of interest (COIs) in European healthcare. A phenomenon called “bias bias” contributes to COI situations across Europe. Very often throughout Europe, COI is found under explanations of the notion of corruption, as indicated in the EU European Commission's Updated Study on Corruption in the Healthcare Sector. The chapter then examines the special nature of the physician– patient relationship in Europe and the main principles that a physician needs to follow in rendering medical care, including informed consent rules. It also considers the role of law and self- regulation in addressing provider COIs within European healthcare, including medical malpractice and anti-bribery law, both civil and criminal. In spite of common fundamental principles as enshrined in the Council of Europe Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine, current rules regulating COIs are limited in scope and diverse in many countries across Europe. In addition, when one analyzes the relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare professionals, it can be concluded that the European legal order regulates this relationship and its COIs through full legislation, partial legislation, or anti- corruption and transparency regulation.
