NEWS - EU NEWS

The European Medicines Agency has launched a new, user-focused, interactive website 15 July 2010. The website - which continues on the same address http://www.ema.europa.eu - has been redesigned in direct response to the Agency's research into the types of features and functionality our users would like to see.

New features include:

* Quick medicine searches: Allows you to search for human and veterinary medicines by name and active substance and for herbal medicinal substances by name

* An online library: Enables you to search for all Agency documents currently online through a search on title and date published online.

* Improved navigation: More intuitive labelling and improved organisation of content so that browsing is quicker for all audience groups.

* Audience landing pages: Flags information of specific value to different key users.

* Online calendar and news search: Allows you to keep up to date with the latest news and events at the Agency.

* RSS feeds: Brings information straight to you as soon as it is published online.
