E-drug: Unified licensure/regulation of pharmaceuticals & biologicals?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey E-druggers,

Does anyone out there know about/ have thoughts on the movement
to have  a unified worldwide standards for licensure and regulation of
drugs and  vaccines? Do you think it would be beneficial and save
resources on  licensing or would it create a standard that is most
relevant for first  world countries? Also, do you think developing
countries would use  products that were not approved in any form by
either the FDA, EMEA, or  a similar body?

Any thoughts, documents, or experts that come to mind would be
very  welcome.
