The Council of the European Union recently adopted conclusions resulting from a high-level meeting on innovation in the medical device sector held in March. The Council’s conclusions call upon Member States and the European Commission to promote the development of innovative devices to improve patient health and wellbeing throughout the EU. The Council also presented a list of considerations for commissioners to take into account in reviewing and recasting Europe’s Medical Devices Directives, including the importance of the EU’s continued role as a leader in international regulatory convergence and best regulatory practices.
