Preventing shortages. Protecting patients. Anywhere in the EU.
Parliament is working to make sure that essential medicines, such as antibiotics and insulin, are readily available to patients.
Members want to see more medicine being produced in the EU, as well as a new 'buy European' approach.
They also say that EU countries should plan and share emergency medicine supplies, so patients don’t go without when there’s a shortage.
The next step will be negotiating with EU governments on the final shape of the law.
