Stella Kyriakides, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety has announced that the EU Commission is working on a proposal to postpone the entry into force of the new EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) for 1 year.
European Commission spokesman Stefan De Keersmaecker added in a Q&A on Wednesday, Mar 25 on when such a delay might be proposed: “We are working hard to submit this proposal early April and we call on Parliament and on Council to adopt it quickly as the deadline for entry into force is at the end of May. This will relieve pressure from national authorities and industry and it will allow them to focus fully on urgent priorities related to the coronavirus crisis.”
