What does this sentence mean?

whereas, in this context, the safety, quality and usefulness of the substances must be verified by analogy with the appropriate methods specified in Council Directive 75/318/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to analytical, pharmaco-toxicological and clinical standards and protocols in respect of the testing of proprietary medicinal products .
I am not very sure about the meaning of "verified by analogy"and "on the approximation of sth". Please help me with the meanings of these two phrases and the sentence. THX
