title: Self-sufficiency--20 years on.
abstract: The opening paper of this symposium discusses the theme [European self-sufficiency and haemophilia prophylaxis: achievable goals or idealistic concepts?' from four aspects: (a) the meaning and interpretation of self-sufficiency in the European Community; (b) a summary of the facts, discussions and developments of the last 20 years; (c) a description of future aims and objectives; and (d) a discussion of what this symposium hopes to achieve. The author suggests that one most important point is to find an adequate definition of the term [self-sufficiency' in this context.
