Reply to: Trump puts EU ahead of Britain for trade deal

Being in HEOR I know a little about this.
The MHRA is nowhere big enough to do drug approvals - expanding it to do so would cost millions or billions we don't have.
And it wouldn't make sense anyway since as you say UK pharma needs to sell into Europe, the 2nd most lucrative market after the US.
So as far as drug regulation goes we'll be following EU rules for the foreseeable future - or kill off one of Britain's few success stories.

There's a lot of complexity that drooling Brexiters overlooked when they ticked that box

Let's give our MRHA the £350 million the EU takes every week.

From my dealings with them - there seems to be no shortage of money at the MHRA so they probably could expand. The worrying impact will be the estimated 150 additional days taken to make available new medicines. People will die.

Mainly elderly Brexiters. Kind of a mega year for the Darwin Awards.

Tell us more about "Halfwits existing on Royalties".

An interesting article about EU regulations:

A good point, if the UK is also subject to single EU approval for medicines, and obviously the same principles apply to every other market, then effectively it remains in the EU subject to EU law, otherwise the UK becomes a "fragment market" with a huge bureacracy repeating what is done in the EU and forcing larger companies to double their efforts in gaining regulatory approval.

This obviously makes sense to Brexiteering politicians.....

Currently, for example, drugmakers in the European Economic Area, or single market, can tap the entire market of 500 million potential patients with a single EU marketing approval. The single market includes Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as well as the EU.

sasguru : - someone who consistently displays a disturbing and pathological trend to try and look and feel superior.

Often diagnosed as a heady mix of Asperger's, Narcissistic Personality Disorder , and Grandiose delusions, it generally stems from a lack of parental affection in the formative years.

There is little that can be done for sufferers other than to largely ignore their hysterical and spurious output, and the best solutions are normally those that involve heavy sedation and naughty steps.

You clearly don't understand the difference between random and non-random processes.

HTH, BIDI.

The mods certainly understand the ban hammer is random.....

You remind me of all the financial advisors who fail to beat a chimpanzees financial advice

You're living proof that people should pass an IQ test in order to obtain a vote.
The modern world is too complex for people of average intelligence and under to understand.

the reality is that a deal between the US and the UK may be a lot easier and be in place quicker than one between the US and the EU

Of course a deal between the US and UK would be in place easier, since it's all done and dusted with the US telling us to bend over and drop our drawers while they get the lube, to which we gladly and immediately comply. If we actually had any kind of backbone, like many EU member states, we may actually try to negotiate in our own self-interests once in a while.
