(Reuters) – Proposed changes to an EU pharmaceutical law will include stronger obligations for the supply of medicines and earlier notifications of shortages, the EU Health Commissioner said on Tuesday.
Stella Kyriakides told a session of the European Parliament that shortages of antibiotics were a growing problem for many European countries. She said the proposal to revise the pharmaceutical legislation was planned for March.
