EU initiatives for research involving children

摘要

Further to recent correspondence in the medical press regarding the UK approach (Editorial in Lancet 367:1953, 2006; Smyth and Edwards in Lancet 368:645–646, 2006) to the Paediatric Medicines Regulation (Regulation (EC) no. 1901/2006, 2006), which has now entered into force, we would like to make reference to a number of research-based initiatives of the European Union in this field.
