EMA opens consultation on concept paper for proof‑of‑concept data in paediatric cancer medicine development

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has opened a consultation on a concept paper proposing a reflection paper on proof-of-concept data supporting the development of anti-cancer medicinal products in paediatric patients. The paper identifies high-level recommendations for generating and assessing proof-of-concept data using a weight of evidence approach, considering factors such as mechanism of action, biology of paediatric malignancies, non-clinical disease models, pharmacokinetics and safety considerations. It also highlights challenges in paediatric oncology drug development, including biological differences between adult and paediatric cancers and limited clinical trial populations, and proposes stakeholder input, including academic experts, to inform the assessment of Paediatric Investigation Plans (PIPs). The consultation closes on 30 June 2026.

European Parliament approves updated package travel rules to strengthen holidaymaker protections

The European Parliament has approved revised rules on package travel aimed at enhancing protection for holidaymakers by drawing lessons from the pandemic and high-profile bankruptcies. The updated directive clarifies the definition of a travel package, introduces rules governing the use of vouchers and allows travellers to cancel trips without penalties in cases of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances affecting the destination or point of departure.

MedTech Europe publishes joint industry statement on PPWR reuse targets

MedTech Europe has published a joint industry statement alongside several European industry associations reacting to the European Commission’s delegated act under article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)). The statement notes the Commission’s decision to introduce a derogation for pallet wrappings and straps from the 100% reuse targets in article 29(2) and (3), stating that these packaging formats are generally designed for single-use load stabilisation and may not be suitable for reuse at scale while maintaining load stability, product protection and transport safety. It also highlights that the 40% reuse target under article 29(1) remains applicable to these formats and calls on the Commission to adopt a delegated act under article 29(18) exempting pallet wrappings, straps and comparable transport packaging solutions where reuse is technically unsuitable.

Clearstream and Euroclear launch dematerialised Eurobond issuance services

Clearstream and Euroclear Bank, the two International Central Securities Depositories, have announced the launch of their respective dematerialised Eurobond issuance services, which are now live and available for market use. The services remove the need for physical global certificates, enabling Eurobonds to be issued in fully paperless form through both depositories. The initiative is intended to enable faster processing, improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. The dematerialised frameworks also enhance security by eliminating risks associated with loss, theft or forgery, and provide greater transparency through electronic ownership records. Dematerialised Eurobonds can initially be issued under English law, with further jurisdictions expected to be added.
