Experience gained since the adoption of Council Directive 87/22/EEC of 22 December 1986 on the approximation of national measures relating to the placing on the market of high-technology medicinal products, particularly those derived from biotechnology(7) has shown that it is necessary to create a centralised authorisation procedure that is compulsory for high-technology medicinal products, particularly those resulting from biotechnical processes, in order to maintain the high level of scientific evaluation of these medicinal products in the European Union and thus to preserve the confidence of patients and the medical professions in the evaluation.
Izkušnje, pridobljene po sprejetju Direktive Sveta 87/22/EGS z dne 22. decembra 1986 o približevanju nacionalnih ukrepov v zvezi z dajanjem v promet visokotehnoloških zdravil, zlasti tistih, ki so pridobljena z biotehnologijo, so pokazale, da je treba oblikovati centraliziran postopek za pridobitev dovoljenja za promet, ki bo obvezen za visokotehnološka zdravila, zlasti tista, ki izvirajo iz biotehničnih postopkov, da bi tako ohranili visoko raven znanstvenega vrednotenja teh zdravil v Evropski uniji in tako ohranili zaupanje bolnikov in zdravstvenih poklicev v vrednotenje.
