Good morning,

Today, in Nouvel.obs.com, an article (in French) announcing that a reform of the "French drug system" seems most likely.

The potential consequences for us ?

Less drugs marketed = less work for us. The end of the pharmaceutical sales representatives = less work for us.

Good morning,

Today, in Nouvel.obs.com, an article (in French) announcing that a reform of the "French drug system" seems most likely.

The potential consequences for us ?

Less drugs marketed = less work for us. The end of the pharmaceutical sales representatives = less work for us.
However, if the AFSSAPS must be "more accurately informed", it might imply the return of the obligation to have more documents translated into French, as it was the case when I began translating, before the EMEA (now EMA) became the predominant authority. At that time, any new drug registration application meant an average of 400-500 pages to be translated!

Let's wait and see ...

Un article du NouvelObs.com ce matin qui est peut-être annonciateur d'une réforme du système des AMM, certes, mais du coup, de notre marché aussi.
Moins de médicaments = moins de boulot pour nous, suppression des visiteurs médicaux = moins de boulot pour nous.

Par contre, si le rôle de l'AFSSAPS redevient prépondérant et si celle-ci doit être mieux informée, peut-être verrons-nous remonter enfin à la surface l'obligation de traduire davantage de documents.
Je me rappelle qu'en début de carrière, un dossier de demande d'AMM, c'était au minimum 400-500 pages à traduire en français. Lorsqu'il a été décidé que l'EMEA (devenue depuis l'EMA) serait en réalité l'autorité dominante, la nécessité de traduire les dossiers a été réduite à la portion congrue.

Nous verrons bien ce que nous réserve l'avenir ...
En attendant, voir :
