Not true. Medicines entering the UK from outside the EU will be subject to inspection, as is the case today.

Medicines that have been inspected in Europe will enter the UK without additional checks under a recognition scheme.

Truth is often malleable, dependent upon the receiving bodies senses and relative to it's surrounding entities.

We are seeing standards slip every day if we note what is going on around us and if you read my post more carefully you would have noted that I said the shysters would be trying. Even if they do not succeed we will still have additional inspection costs. But I suspect a lot more crud will get through than does at present, in the meantime would you mind checking out the definitions for 'de jure' and 'de facto'?

The MHRA is losing its evaluation arm of its business, the inspection arm will continue. There is no evidence that the UK would adopt a lower inspection standard compared to the EU.

By choosing to allow medicines that have already been inspected in the EU into the UK without further inspection, no additional costs will be incurred.

Hmmm, so EU civil servants, or eurocrats as I believe they are called, will be responsible for some of the medicines getting into the UK?

You will find that the FDA (the US medicines regulator) works to pretty much the same regs as the EMA. While there may well be regulatory divergence between the UK and EU post BREXIT, you are not going to see a race to the bottom in areas of public health and safety.

Why should I be worried?

The testing is conducted by commercial contract laboratories rather than civil servants.

The testing is undertaken within the country which imports the product, so any of the EU 28, rather than one central place.

All the UK is proposing is that it will accept, without further testings, any batch of medicine that has already been through a testing and certification process in the EU prior to arriving in the UK.

We could chose to retest products already certified in the EU. It would though lead to delays in supplying medicines to patients and increase costs to manufacturers and ultimately healthcare systems.

Seems sensible to me to not want to add bureaucracy and costs at the border in this instance.

The quality of products coming from the EU isn't the issue is it?
The real problem is with stuff that comes from Non Eu countries and does come in via the EU where it will have been tested.
The UK has a number of legal problems to resolve with =in EU courts over poor quality products and contraband carrying the EU mark tho' it has never been inspected to EU standards.

The government position is for regulatory alignment with EMA when it comes to medicines.

I have yet to hear any Brexiteer call for regulatory divergence in quality testing of medicines. The likes of Liam Fox have been most supportive of the pharmaceutical industry argument for continued alignment in this area.

I do not see why you view this as a problem.

Any product imported into the EU will need to satisfy stringent quality control checks before it is allowed to be released for use in the EU. If a product that enters the EU from a third country fails this test, it will not be released for use. It would also not be accepted in the UK.

We know that EU testing is stringent, so where does the risk lie to the UK in accepting EU approved batches without retesting?

In terms of court cases, any medicine examples you can cite?

There will be some sectors where divergence is not in anyone's best interest and continued cooperation and alignment is the optimal approach.

Areas of public health safety, including medicines is one. Fight against terrorism etc. is another.

What has got lost in the debate on BREXIT is that any UK company that wants to export to the EU will be bound by its rules and quality standards. Leaving the EU does not give you free reign to do what you want if you still want to sell your product or services to them.

The brexiteers have made numberous statements about leaving the EU which are bollox -including the point you make about Britsh companies needing to meet EU standards if they are to sell into the EU. However there are those who are now arguing this isn't important because UK exports to non EU countries is growing more rapidly that exports to the EU - no one mentiosn the fact that EU companies are sourcing their requirements from places other than the UK.

As far as regulations are concerned attached is what Me Gove said last year & I have not seen any brexiteer argue against that-

It is a radical idea....

I think what has been coming to light, at least in political circles, over the last year or so is how much it will cost if the UK truly goes it alone. Activities that are currently done once at a EU wide level, will now need to be done in the UK as well as Europe. Batch testing and release of imported medicines being just one example.

Those costs will be borne by both UK and EU businesses/government, which will be bad news for us punters, as we will pick up the cost in some form.

Micheal Gove - enough said. Clinical trials are normally international and include patients recruited across multiple countries. The conduct of the study is governed by the study protocol and the standard expected by the regulatory bodies.

Liam Fox spoke at a reception in Westminster recently where he acknowledged the need for ongoing regulatory alignment for medicines.

I think that stat is a red herring. While exports to non-EU countries may be growing more quickly than for EU countries, they still account for a very significant percentage of UK business sales/revenues. Very few companies could afford to walk away from that business.
