I see that you've noticed they were both approved on the same day so no need for the link below :-)

Thanks for the information. Thanks too genisi for the details. Sorry Dew I don't subscribe to Pharma Letter so can't say thanks :-).

I was curious why Shire withdrew their application. I thought it was a lock for approval with what happened with Genzyme Manufacturing problems.

My memory isn't the greatest but a TKT call from 2003 (I think it was Sheldon's last) shortly after Genzyme got approved and TKT was locked out stands out. I believe it was Jennifer Chow (don't know what happened to her) was basically yelling at Sheldon saying "you lied to us". Has to be one of my top 3 most memorable conference calls.

Btw, EMA granted Replagal approval under ‘Exceptional Circumstances’ as well.
