Paediatric Working Party

The PEG has been transformed into Paediatric Working Party in relation to implementation of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004. On 29 September 2004, the EC released the first proposal for a Regulation on Medicinal Products for Paediatric Use together with an explanatory memorandum, the Extended Impact Assessment and questions and answers document. The proposal has now been presented to the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament and it will go through the co-decision procedure. The earliest that the proposal is likely to become law is late 2006.
