It will support innovation and boost the\u00a0<strong>competitiveness\u00a0<\/strong>and attractiveness of<strong>\u00a0the EU pharmaceutical industry<\/strong>, while promoting higher environmental standards. In addition to this reform, the Commission proposes a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/health.ec.europa.eu\/antimicrobial-resistance\/eu-action-antimicrobial-resistance_en\">Council Recommendation<\/a>\u00a0to step up the\u00a0<strong>fight against antimicrobial resistance<\/strong>\u00a0(AMR).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0<strong>challenges<\/strong>\u00a0this reform addresses are fundamental. Medicines authorised in the EU are still\u00a0<strong>not reaching patients quickly enough<\/strong>\u00a0and are not equally accessible in all Member States. There are significant gaps in addressing\u00a0<strong>unmet medical needs<\/strong>, rare diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).\u00a0<strong>High prices<\/strong>\u00a0for innovative treatments and\u00a0<strong>shortages\u00a0<\/strong>of medicines remain an important concern for patients and healthcare systems. In addition, to ensure that the EU remains an attractive place for investment and a world leader in the development of medicines, it needs to adapt its rules to the\u00a0<strong>digital transformation\u00a0<\/strong>and<strong>\u00a0new technologies<\/strong>, whilst cutting red tape and simplifying procedures.

Furthermore, earlier availability of generic and biosimilar medicines will be facilitated, and market authorisation procedures simplified. Measures for greater transparency of public funding of medicines development will be introduced and the generation of comparative clinical data will be incentivised.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Promoting innovation and competitiveness through an efficient and simplified regulatory framework:\u00a0<\/strong>the reform will create an innovation-friendly regulatory environment for the development of new medicines and the repurposing of existing ones. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ema.europa.eu\/en\">European Medicines Agency<\/a>\u00a0(EMA) will provide better early regulatory and scientific support for developers of promising medicines to facilitate the fast approval and help SMEs and non-profit developers. The scientific evaluation and authorisation of medicines will be sped up (e.g., EMA authorisation procedures will take 180 days, helping reduce the current average of around 400 days) and the regulatory burden will be reduced through simplified procedures (e.g., by abolishing in most cases marketing authorisation renewal and introducing simpler procedures for generic medicines) and digitisation (e.g., electronic submissions of applications and electronic product information).<strong>\u00a0The highest quality, safety, and efficacy standards\u00a0<\/strong>for the authorisation of medicines will be maintained.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Effective incentives for innovation:\u00a0<\/strong>regulatory protection of up to a maximum of 12 years for innovative medicines, combined with the existing intellectual property rights, will ensure Europe remains an attractive hub for investment and innovation. To create a single market for medicines, the reform will move the current system away from its \u2018one-size-fits-all&#8217; regulatory protection towards a\u00a0<strong>more effective incentives framework for innovation that also promotes public health interests<\/strong>. To achieve this, it proposes a minimum period of regulatory protection of 8 years that can be extended in the following cases: if medicines are launched in all Member States, if they address<em>\u00a0<\/em>unmet medical needs, if comparative clinical trials are conducted, or if a new therapeutic indication is developed. The combination of the existing intellectual property rights and the new regulatory protection periods will also safeguard the EU&#8217;s competitive edge in pharmaceutical development, one of the most protective world-wide. The reform will drive efforts so that research and development will focus on the patients&#8217; greatest needs and there is more timely and equitable patient access to medicines across the EU.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Addressing shortages of medicines and ensuring security of supply:<\/strong>\u00a0the reform introduces new requirements for monitoring of shortages of medicines by national authorities and EMA and a stronger coordination role for EMA. Obligations on companies will be strengthened, including earlier reporting of shortages and withdrawals of medicines and development and maintenance of shortage prevention plans. An EU-wide list of critical medicines will be established, and supply chain vulnerabilities of these medicines will be assessed, with specific recommendations on measures to be taken by companies and other supply chain stakeholders. In addition, the Commission can adopt legally binding measures to strengthen security of supply of specific critical medicines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stronger protection of the environment:\u00a0<\/strong>better enforcement of current environmental requirements will limit the potential negative consequences of medicines on the environment and public health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR):<\/strong>\u00a0AMR is considered one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/e%20n\/ip_22_4474\">top three health threats<\/a>\u00a0in the EU. The reform offers incentives through transferable vouchers to companies that invest in novel antimicrobials that can treat resistant pathogens, addressing the current market failure. Measures and targets for prudent use of antimicrobials, including adapted packaging and prescription requirement, will also be introduced to keep the antimicrobials effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/datos-sobre-la-resistencia-a-los-antimicrobianos-el-uso-de-antibioticos-en-la-ue-disminuye-pero-aun-queda-mucho-por-hacer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/headache-1540220_1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/data-on-antimicrobial-resistance-amr-use-of-antibiotics-in-the-eu-decreases-but-more-needs-to-be-done\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR): use of antibiotics in the EU decreases but more needs to be done<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Stepping up EU actions to combat AMR in a One Health approach<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Antimicrobials are crucial medicines. However, over the years, their overuse and misuse have led to increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR), meaning that antimicrobials lose their effectiveness, and it becomes more difficult, if not impossible, to treat infections. Therefore, today&#8217;s package also includes a\u00a0<strong>proposal for a Council\u00a0 Recommendation<\/strong>\u00a0containing complementary measures to combat AMR in the fields of human health, animal health and the environment, through the so-called One Health approach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The proposal\u00a0<strong>supports the prudent use<\/strong>\u00a0of antimicrobials, recommending concrete and measurable targets to reduce their use and promote high levels of infection prevention, notably in hospitals, and control in the area of human health. The proposal also improves public awareness, education and training of relevant professionals and fosters cooperation between stakeholders from all relevant sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommended targets<\/strong>\u00a0were designed with the support of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecdc.europa.eu\/en\">European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control<\/a>\u00a0(ECDC) and take into account national situations (different levels of antimicrobial consumption, spread of key resistant pathogens across the Member States). They also allow better monitoring of progress in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, the proposal will boost national\u00a0<strong>One Health action plans\u00a0<\/strong>on AMR, foster research and innovation, reinforce surveillance and monitoring of AMR and antimicrobial consumption, enhance global actions, contribute to the design of an EU multi-country financial incentive to improve access to antimicrobials and incentivise the development of other AMR medical countermeasures such as vaccines and rapid diagnostics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_23_1843\">European Commission<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Commission proposes to revise the EU&#8217;s pharmaceutical legislation\u00a0&#8211; the largest reform in over 20 years &#8211; to make it more agile, flexible, and adapted to the needs of citizens and businesses across the EU.\u00a0 The revision will make\u00a0medicines more available, accessible and affordable.
