Conflict of interest assessment on new head of legal service
Dear European Medicines Agency,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain EMA's assessment of the risk of possible conflicts of interest relating to Stefano Marino considering his recent employment background at Sigma-Tao where he was director of legal and intellectual property affairs. Additionally, I would like to know what decisions have been made about Mr Marino's level of involvement in specific EMA activities.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Vicky Cann

Re: EMA request reference ASK-2307
Dear Ms Cann,
Thank you for your email.
The conflict of interest form for Mr Marino is available on our website
under the following link
[1]http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?c...
The form shows that the assigned risk level is risk level 3. An
explanation of the risk levels is stated in the ‘Decision on rules
relating to Articles 11a and 13 of the Staff Regulations concerning the
handling of declared interests of employees of the European Medicines
Agency’. This decision is also available on our website under
[2]http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?c...
Mr Marino’s involvement in the activities of the Agency is determined by
the job description of the Head of the Legal Service/Department. He is not
involved in any legal or other issues that may involve the EMA and his
former employer Sigma-Tau. In addition, Mr Marino left Sigma-Tau in March
2013. His new job at the Agency started mid-June 2013.
Yours sincerely,
European Medicines Agency
