* EMEA says reassured on quality, backs ending restrictions
* Step to making drug available for Parkinson's and RLS

(Adds UCB reaction, details, background)

LONDON, May 29 (Reuters) - Europe's drugs watchdog has recommended that restrictions on the use of UCB's (UCB.BR) drug Neupro for Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome should be lifted, boosting sales prospects for the medicine.

A year ago supply of the drug was limited to patients already on the medicine due to the discovery of crystallisation problems with the product, which is applied as a transdermal patch.
