Written by Laurence Amand-Eeckhout (1st edition).
On 26 Avril 2023, the European Commission put forward a ‘pharmaceutical package’ to revise the EU’s pharmaceutical legislation and make medicines more available, accessible and affordable, while supporting the competitiveness and attractiveness of the EU pharmaceutical industry, with higher environmental standards. The package includes proposals for a new directive and a new regulation, which would replace the existing pharmaceutical legislation, including the legislation on medicines for children and for rare diseases. The package is completed by a communication and a Council recommendation to step up the fight against antimicrobial resistance. The legislative proposals are now in the hands of the co-legislators.
