Release of documents on two medicines temporarily halted
14 March 2017 - EMA’s appeals against interim measures are dismissed by Court of Justice
The Vice-President of the Court of Justice of the European Union has dismissed two appeals by the EMA against interim orders of the President of the General Court, thus upholding the suspension of the release of certain documents requested by third parties under Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the so-called “Transparency Regulation”.
In December 2015, two court cases were brought against EMA by PTC Therapeutics and Intervet. The two companies challenged EMA’s decisions to release the requested documents in accordance with the Transparency Regulation and EMA’s 2010 policy on access to documents.
