Since May 1, 2011, the European Union has fully implemented the Traditional Herbal Medicine Products Directive (THMPD). Accordingly, TCM will lose its previous status of circulation and prescription as a medical practice in the European market.

Today we are honored to have two experts on this issue with us in the studio. They are Mr Huang Jianyin, deputy secretary of World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies (WFCMS), and Mr Du Xiangdong, general manager of the European and American Division for Dept. of Natural Medical Product at China MEHECO Corporation.
