Because it then becomes a kind of race to the bottom, where all manufacturers will approve medecine in the easiest country, a bit like flag on convenience for ships

They already do that. Having approval and data in another country makes it much easier to get FDA approval. But it's still a lengthy process, costs a lot of money, and often puts you in competition with other options that are approved. There are drugs that have been used for decades in Europe, are perfectly safe and proven to be more effective, and are not available in the USA (and likely the other way around, I'm just aware of specific examples there).
Sounds great, where do I sign up?
