Executive Summary
The EU's Medical Devices Directive (MDD) and Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (AIMDD) are to be recast into a single regulation during 2007, under the European Commission's simplification programme. According to details recently released by the Commission, the medical device directives do not feature among the top priorities of the 222 basic legislations that the Commission proposes to repeal codify, recast or modify, to ensure that the EU economy is made more competitive.
