Amendment 547

Jutta Paulus

Proposal for a regulation

Annex II – Part 1 – introduction

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
Specific data on relevant active substances to be identified in accordance with Article 4(5)(b) falling under the scope of this Regulation for the purposes of Article 3 for human and veterinary medicinal productsSpecific data on active substances to be identified in accordance with Article 4(5)(b) falling under the scope of this Regulation for the purposes of Article 3 for human and veterinary medicinal products

Justification

In order to have a true COMMON data platform, data for all active substances that are chemicals should be included in the platform, and not just for “relevant” ones. All data on pharmaceutical active substances are relevant for other policy areas and therefore, it is not appropriate to limit input to the data platform to dual use substances, PBT substances or active substances with known high level of residues. Data on medicines are rich, using many tests on animals as well as clinical studies. These data can contribute to the development and validation of predictive toxicological models, reducing the needs for animal tests in other policy areas (see references below to exchanges between EFPIA and ECHA as well as between the US FDA and ECHA. Data on all active substances are relevant for environmental legislation, because most if not all active substances or their metabolites will end up in the environment to a significant degree. Medicines may well have toxic properties and it is important to include such data in the platform, not only when they are also persistent and bioaccumulative. In addition, it is inappropriate to only include active substances with known high level of residues given combination effects and cumulative exposure, constant load into the environment and the need to be able to detect emerging risks in time.

The value of such data for developing predictive toxicology assessment - and thus for saving animal tests - has been officially recognised by ECHA. https://echa.europa.eu/-/pharmaceutical-industry-provides-unpublished-data-on-chemical-substances
