In the recent three decades, with the increase of side effects of synthetic drugs, attention to traditional herbal medicines has been paid again and given a clear legal definition by the directive 2004/24/EC. In this thesis, we are making a comparative study: first on the Chinese-European texts on the quality control of vegetal raw material in the fields of production and international trade, then on the Chinese-European on the quality control, the security and effectiveness of traditional herbes-Made medicine as products. Although Chinese and European tradition herbal medicine regulations all mainly aim at protecting public health, and strictly controlling the quality, safety and efficacy of such medicines, there are big difference for traditional herbal medicine regulations between China and the EU due to difference of the history, culture and traditions in the pharmaceutical industry and the legal system. For a long period of time, coordination between the two will remain difficult.
