74Whereas the rules laid down in the regulations contain a number of provisions that are essentially procedural (see Article 1 of Regulation No 726/2004), the rules laid down in the directive essentially contain substantive provisions regarding the standards to be observed to uphold product quality and protect human health. Therefore, irrespective of the procedure, medicinal products must satisfy the same substantive requirements and may claim the same protection.
