EU : Commission plans to 'move from directives to regulations'for medtech sector

摘要

The European Commission has revealed that it intends to propose "two regulations" to improve the current oversight of the EU medtech sector."We are going to move from directives to regulations," Jacqueline Minor, the director of consumer policy at the commission's DG Sanco said during the UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee (STC) hearing on 13 June.Moving from directives to regulations would mean that no national legislation would be required to translate the rules into the legal systems of the [EU] member states, "which will eliminate to some degree differences of interpretation or of application", Ms Minor said. The commission intends to table its proposal for a new EU regulatory framework in late September
