EU wrecks manifesto drugs pledge

Laura Smith

A manifesto pledge to require drugs companies to publish full details of clinical trials for medicines cannot be fulfilled because it would be illegal under EU law, the government has admitted.

Labour's 2005 election manifesto promised to "require registration of all clinical trials and publication of their findings for all trials of medicinal products with a marketing authorisation in the UK".

But the Department of Health has now admitted it would be illegal under EU regulations to do this.

As things stand, the pharmaceutical industry is encouraged to publish findings of all clinical trials online but largely regulates itself.
