Press Release: Traditional herbal medicines: European Commission proposes harmonised registration procedure

A specific registration procedure for herbal medicinal products with a long-standing traditional use is to be proposed by the European Commission.. The proposal's rationale is to improve quality checks and market surveillance. By creating a clear and reliable regulatory environment for these products, it should benefit both patients and manufacturers, most of which are small- and medium sized enterprises.
