European regulatory issues.
Current EU regulations do not cover all aspects of the manufacture and control of blood products. Recent legislation coming into force on 1 January 1995 has established the European Medicines Evaluation Agency and introduced revised systems for approving pharmaceutical products, including blood products. There remains a need for comprehensive harmonized legislation covering plasma collection and screening, virus validation studies, and batch release.
