Inden afslutningen af den gensidige anerkendelses- procedure indbragte Spanien og Nederlandene en sag for EMEA ud fra den betragtning, at dette lægemiddel muligvis udgør en risiko for folkesundheden, eftersom sikkerhed og virkning for ropinirol til langtidsbehandling af Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) efter deres opfattelse ikke er påvist.
Before the end of a mutual recognition procedure, Spain and the Netherlands, presented to the EMEA a referral considering that this medicinal product might present a risk to public health since they were of the opinion that safety and efficacy in long-term treatment of ropinirole in restless legs syndrome had not been demonstrated.
