The application date of the CTR across the EU is yet to be set by the European Commission, but is expected to be in early 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Whatever the outcome of the UK’s EU exit negotiations, the current regulatory approval legislation will stay in place until such time as any changes are needed, so there will be no interruption in UK clinical trials approval. The EU Withdrawal Bill will make the current UK clinical trials regulations (2004 2001/1031) that implement the clinical trials directive (2001/20/EC) operable on exit day and this is not contingent on any decision about whether the CTR will apply in the future.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price grouped question UIN 133956 question first answered 27/03/2018 16:14:46 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
