    Very good find.

    The EU doesn’t have as strict a policy as the US on how industry can interact with doctors. Also the EHS has no significant budget or income to support a staff or its publications of guidelines, etc. I think their only income may be from royalties from the journal publisher. So, they are even more reliant than US societies on industry support. And of course. Industry gobbles that up.
