EU red tape is producing trials of new drugs "impossible", in accordance with scientist’s caution the legislation is resulting in individuals being denied possible life-saving drugs.
The Clinical Trials Directive has generated a "huge growth in bureaucracy" having almost doubled the expense of its medicines programme, Cancer Research UK claims.
For the reason that directive was unveiled in 2004 the UK's share of tests across the world has dropped from 6to 2 %.
Accordance with Professor Peter Johnson, the charity's chief clinician, Drug organizations have started to pull jobs from Britain as a result
He said: "We are precisely driving a Rolls Royce organization down a cart track, in relation to the bureaucracy and obstacle that we have to beat along the way.
"The directive has nearly doubled our expenses for maintaining their portfolio of trials, for the reason that cost of manpower more or less doubled.
The directive was brought in to create drugs trials less risky and "harmonize" approaches across the European Union, but Prof Johnson said it had basically failed on both sides.
