Conclusions 1. Recent epidemiological data from Europe represents good quality but it is not a case in all countries. 2. Europe can be divided into regions of low prevalence western, central and northern, moderate prevalence southern and high prevalence eastern part of the continent. 3. Predominant genotypes are 1 and 3. 4. Reimbursement of HCV treatment according to EASL guidelines is very divergent across the region, from reimbursement of PegIFN/RBV treatment only to IFN-free regimen for all patients. 24
