E-DRUG: Prescrire filed a complaint against the European Medicines Agency (EMA)
--------------------------------------

Hi,
Prescrire has filed a complaint with the EU Ombudsman, citing the European Medicines Agency's repeated refusals to supply documents and information, particularly regarding drugs with an unfavourable risk-benefit balance. The reason given by EMA for these refusals was often the protection of trade secrets. The complaint details 5 particularly unacceptable cases.
