their implementation. Subject to the powers expressly attributed to the Shareholders’ General Meeting, and

Global Regulatory Affairs

After successful clinical trials, new medicines or treatments need to be licensed and approved before they can be made available to patients. Our team based primarily in Monaco and France works hard to ensure medicines gain and maintain the market or regional regulatory authorisations they need to ensure patients have access to both our new and older, medically important, R&D medicines.

To ensure that medicine approvals are managed efficiently, our policy team monitors how the regulatory environment is changing and how this might impact drug approvals in different markets. In Europe, we work with The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) to identify potential barriers with current legislation and help shape the system for new treatments, such as gene therapy and personalised medicine, to ensure medicine approvals can be even more efficient in the future. is also responsible for ensuring that information about each medicine or vaccine for both patients and healthcare professionals is kept up-to-date.

In addition to licensing and registration, our wider team and supply partners is also responsible for ensuring that information about each medicine or vaccine for both patients and healthcare professionals is kept up-to-date.
