"Mr President, many people have good experiences of using herbal medicine to supplement ordinary medicine and treatment. Herbal medicine must, moreover, be seen as an ecologically sound alternative to the many unnatural chemicals we let out into the environment in the form of chemical medicine.
The area of natural medicine is far from being fully charted. There are presumably many good products around the world that we have still not used or with which we are unfamiliar in Europe. We must not rule out the development of all these known and unknown ecologically sound medicinal preparations. That is what I in actual fact think we are doing with the directive’s demand for approval and registration.
In Denmark, we obtained a similar regulation of herbal preparations a few years ago. From previously having approximately 2 500 different products, there are now only 50 approved products. Well-educated and experienced therapists now complain about the lack of legal access to many important preparations for treating, for example, cancer and allergies. I cannot therefore support the directive."@en1
