ESMO & EAPC Europe-wide survey (2010):

ESMO and the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) conducted a survey (2007-2008) using standards derived from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), that exposed formulary deficiencies and excessive regulatory barriers which interfere with appropriate patient care in many European countries.

The results were published in Annals of Oncology and describe the availability and cost of opioids for cancer pain in each surveyed country, as well as different forms of regulatory restrictions.
The paper reports that urgent and intensive efforts are needed to expand partnership among advocacy initiatives by stakeholders and international organisations with authorities and regulators, particularly in the countries with the most severe restrictions for opioid availability and accessibility.
