----------
The comparison between the Oviedo Convention and the Regulation (EU) No. 536/2014 has allowed to discover and structure the European "ethical-legal standard" on the protection measures for vulnerable subjects involved in clinical trials. This standard was analyzed following the three fundamental principles of research, as outlined by the Belmont Report: respect for persons, beneficence and justice. The discrepancies found inside have highlighted the criticalities of some basic categories, such as the distinction between direct benefit or benefit on the group and the notion of minimal risk. Twenty years after the Oviedo Convention, a reference document for European and international bioethics, there is a need to rethink critically the "defensive" dimension of vulnerability, that prevails in European and Western legislation.
