Executive Summary
The European Parliament has completed its first reading of a draft regulation on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and adopted an amendment which requires specific sectors, such as medical devices, to be regulated under separate legislation if they are to be excluded from the regulation. A common position on the regulation, which imposes a variety of restrictions on products containing animal and particularly bovine materials, is likely to be adopted before the end of the year.
