Background for the pre-survey
As part of the European Commission Strategic Agenda for Medical Ionization Radiation Applications (SAMIRA), we are undertaking a survey on the practical implementations of the European Pharmaceutical Legislation and Euratom Basic Safety Standards Directive laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation. Specifically we are concentrating on these legislations in relation to the therapeutic use of radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Medicine. As an initial strategy we wish to ascertain the organisational framework within each member state, and establish contact with pertinent experts working for the regulatory bodies or competent authorities who may enforce or produce guidance relating to this field. We would therefore be very grateful if you are able to supply the following information for your country.
