In the final vote announced today at 16h, the European Parliament approved to move forward with the Proposal to delay the MDR (Regulation 2017/745 on medical devices) for a year in the context of the EU’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The EP voted with the following results: 693 in favor, 1 against, 2 abstentions of total 696 votes.
The text will now go back to the Council in order to approve the European Parliament position and proceed in a ”written procedure” next week – without including the national parliaments, which would otherwise delay the procedure for 8 weeks.
