• Pharmaceutical companies have fiercely opposed any reduction in the minimum eight-year window, where they have “protection” over their research and data from clinical trials.

• Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke said the Government now supports the position pushed by the pharmaceutical industry that there should be no change. “We are prepared to accept eight years,” he said in Brussels on Thursday.

Chinese automaker BYD sold more electric vehicles in Europe than Tesla for the first time, according to a report by JATO Dynamics, as an aging model lineup and CEO Elon Musk's politics hurt demand for the U.S. EV maker's cars.

BYD, which also makes plug-in hybrid vehicles, registered 7,231 battery-powered electric vehicles (BEV) in Europe in April, while Tesla registered 7,165 units, the market research firm said.
