"Madam President, I, too, would like to thank the rapporteur, Linda McAvan, for the fine work she has done on this legislative proposal.
I am delighted that, following a successful trialogue, it will be possible to reach agreement in the first reading. I am sure that the amendments to the recently adopted legislation that we agreed on will lead to safer medicines, better protection for patients in Europe, and greater coordination and cooperation.
The amendments were necessary in order to prevent a repetition of scandals such as the one surrounding the Mediator drug.
I would like to emphasise, however, that even perfect legislation will be worthless if not properly implemented, and if compliance is not properly enforced.
The economic crisis and related cuts are also affecting the health sector, including the budgets of national and European medicines agencies.
It is therefore important to ensure that the competent bodies at both national and European levels receive adequate support and trained staff to fulfil all of the important tasks that we have given them under this new legislation."@en1
