(10a) The European Database establishing a European register of operators holding a licence or a registration for the legal trade in drug precursors and medicinal products containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine should be regularly updated and the information provided should be used by the Commission and Member States' competent authorities only for the purpose of preventing the diversion of those products onto the illegal market.

Member States’ competent authorities should share between themselves and with the Commission, through the European database on drug precursors (‘the European database’), established under Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), information on seizures and stopped shipments in order to improve the overall level of information on trade in drug precursors, including medicinal products.

This report not only endorses the Commission’s proposed changes but also enhances them in some areas, including: strengthening the role of the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Advisory Committee, which must have the power to recommend action to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use; strengthening the role of healthcare professionals in the sense of voluntarily reporting adverse drug reactions; strengthening the role of patients in directly reporting adverse reactions; requiring that all adverse drug reactions (and not ...[+++] just serious ones) are reported to the Eudravigilance database by competent authorities and companies, which means that information on all adverse drug reactions will, for the first time, be centralised in one place in the EU; and requiring patient information leaflets that give a clearer indication of the main features of the drugs.
