IPCEI Health: Germany opts out for now

16 EU countries want to participate in the new IPCEI in the healthcare sector. In doing so, they want to strengthen Europe’s sovereignty in this area and promote their own economic position. Germany is not participating for now, while France does not want to lose any time.

France had already announced in the program for its EU Council presidency that it would launch an IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest) for the health sector.
