In mid-February, European Compliance Academy reported that the European Union Parliament adopted the amendments on Directive EC 2001/83/EC to combat counterfeit medicines. The proposed amendments, said the report, โ€œwill have to be transferred into national law within two years.โ€

European Compliance Academy says, โ€œThe New Directive on Counterfeit Medicine will have a major impact on everyone involved in manufacturing and quality assurance of medicinal products, APIs, and Excipients. The ECA [European Compliance Academy] plans to cover this important development at future conferences,โ€ including the 4th European GMP Conference, May 19-20 in Heidelberg, Germany. Presenters from Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and China will serve as speakers and moderators at the event.
