European regulation of pharmaceuticals has, since the foundation of the European Union around 60 years ago, been a story of medicines being controlled in a collaboration between regulators at the EU and national levels.
In recent years, this collaboration has been extended to involve not just the regulators themselves but also other stakeholders such as large, medium and small pharmaceutical companies, prescribers and patients.
