In light of this, I am curious how you see EMA making it easier for pharma. Is there an underlying issue that I a missing?

- the_mitsuhiko 6y agoYou don't need to bypass regulators, all countries can approve it themselves. That's also how the UK approved their vaccines before the Brexit deal took effect.
