At a meeting today of Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard and New Zealand’s Prime Minister John Key it was announced that the governments have decided to set up a joint medicine and medical device agency. This resurrects discussions held in the early 2000s which did not come to fruition. The proposed new agency will at first exclude complementary medicines and dietary supplements until a mutually acceptable regulatory framework is  agreed on.
