A model way to regulate new drugs that stands up to industry scrutiny
Article Abstract:
The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (Emea) has gained growing respect since it began operating in early 1995. The agency, which is based on London, England, is widely regarded as being efficient, and some observers are even hailing it as the European version of the US Food and Drug Administration. It employs only 113 people directly, but uses the expertise of 2,000 people from universities, research laboratories and hospitals from across Europe.

Limbering up for drugs bid battle
Article Abstract:
Pharmaceutical concern Fisons is finding it very hard to fight off a 1.7 billion pounds sterling hostile takeover bid from competitor Rhone-Poulenc Rorer. Stuart Wallis, chief executive of Fisons, has emphasised his commitment to take very strong action to prevent the takeover going ahead, and believes that the company will be able to remain independent. It will particularly focus on the potential of its new inhalant devices for anti-asthma drugs.
