A Consensus Development Conference was organized by the European Menopause Society (EMS) and held from September 8-10, 1995 in Montreux, Switzerland. The consensus was based on public lectures presented by international experts. More than 1300 people interested in the menopause assisted at the presentations, including representatives of the European National Menopause Societies, the International Menopause Society, the pharmaceutical industry and several national health services. After a closed meeting, the panel presented its proposition to the delegates and discussed the Consensus Proposition with the audience before the final proposition was adopted. The aim of the EMS was to present common basic principles accepted by all European countries. Such a consensus has been missing until now, when the multitude of different and sometimes contradictory approaches in use today in Europe are considered.
欧洲更年期协会（EMS）组织了一次共识发展会议，于1995年9月8日至10日在瑞士蒙特勒举行。该共识基于国际专家的公开讲座。1300多名对更年期问题感兴趣的人参加了讲座，其中包括欧洲各国更年期协会、国际更年期协会、制药行业以及几个国家卫生服务机构的代表。在一次闭门会议之后，专家组向代表们提出了其提议，并在最终提议通过之前与听众讨论了共识提议。EMS的目的是提出所有欧洲国家都认可的共同基本原则。考虑到目前欧洲使用的众多不同且有时相互矛盾的方法，此前一直缺乏这样的共识。
