Abstract

The Clinical Trials Regulation is intended to harmonise and streamline the review and conduct of clinical trials in the European Union. In this paper, we identify and analyse several serious issues concerning the division imposed by the Regulation between scientific review and ethical review. We conclude that these problems may compromise the objectives of the Regulation.
