is being sold in Japan since May '13 but not available elsewhere because further testing is needed for approval

I donīt think that Japan's approval procedures are less strict than any other countries' procedures. Shouldn't there be an internationally accepted/agreed procedure for the approval of new treatments so that we, the patients, can benefit as soon as possible from new advances in medicine?

Does anybody know how to get this in Europe?

Sorry for the rant, but you know, sometimes...
