During a debate, MEPs discussed the need to reform a controversial EU law affecting medical devices, which may lead to shortages. The European Commission emphasized the need for a full evaluation before any legal proposals can be made. The current regulations, revamped in the 2010s, aim to enhance safety but face implementation challenges. The Commission has extended the transition period for certification, but MEPs are concerned about delays in reforming the regulations, with calls for urgent action from various members.
