Future Trends On European Regulations On Medicines
In November 2020, the European Commission announced the adoption of the new Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe. The approach intends to ensure robust and fair competition and green industry, fostering patient access to innovative and affordable medicines. It also aims to ensure an autonomous and robust supply chain and a stronger EU voice at the global level by promoting a high level of quality, efficacy, and safety standards.
The Pharmaceutical Strategy is based on four main pillars:
- Accessibility and affordability of medicines for patients and addressing unmet medical needs
- Competitiveness, innovation, and sustainability
- Diversified and secure supply chain
- Ensuring a strong EU voice in the world
As part of the Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe, the Orphan Regulation 141/2000 and the Pediatric Regulation 1901/2006 are under revision. The European Commission adoption was expected to occur by the fourth quarter of 2022.
