Executive Summary
The European Parliament has voted to exempt medical devices from the EU's proposed regulatory framework for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH). It managed to find agreement on the 500 or so proposed amendments during the plenary session on November 17, putting an end to speculation that the Parliament would be unable to agree on the content of this unwieldy text.
