Executive Summary
The European Medicines Agency has had to allocate "considerable" unplanned resources to dealing with the Mediator drug affair, according to its half-year report1. The agency is likely to dedicate even more to dealing with the fallout as an anti-fraud investigation into the agency in connection with the scandal is underway. Meanwhile, other planned work, including implementing new pharmacovigilance legislation, has been delayed, according to the report.
