MEPs have revised their approach to reforming the EU's medical device law, removing timelines for changes and advocating for necessary adjustments post-impact assessment. Concerns about current safety regulations have grown due to delays in certifying medical devices. The Parliament's resolution calls for a systematic revision of regulations, but opposition from liberals, greens, and socialists emphasizes a cautious approach. EPP's Peter Liese expressed frustration over the lack of a clear timetable, while socialist lawmakers stressed the importance of thorough evaluations to ensure patient safety. Incoming Health Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi acknowledged challenges in the transition to new regulations.
