The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce organized the seminar: ‘New Opportunities and Challenges in China’s Food and Drug Regulatory System’ on 6 May at Covington and Burling in Brussels.

Mr. John Balzano is a partner in the food and drug group of Convington and Burling, LLP, who focuses entirely on China regulatory and policy issues in the food, drug, medical device, cosmetic, and animal product spaces and has over ten years of experience. He discussed recent changes to China’s regulations governing these types of products, including those related to pre-market development and approvals and enforcement trends, and the effects of those changes on companies based in the European Union and elsewhere outside of China.
Following an introduction by Ms. Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce, Mr Balzano gave a presentation on ‘New Opportunities and Challenges in China’s Food and Drug Regulatory System’.
