I just went to LES LABORATOIRES SERVIER website via the below website and it states it will not be approved in the UK until 2009 sometime.

Positive opinion from the European Medicine Agency for the new antidepressant Valdoxan:
On 20th of November 2008, the committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use adopted a positive opinion, recommending to grant a marketing authorisation for the Servier new antidepressant Valdoxan 25mg, for the treatment of major depressive episodes in adults. Valdoxan is an innovative new approach to the treatment of depression and has proven efficacy across a wide range of patients, including the most severely depressed.
Valdoxan, discovered and developped by Servier, is the first melatonergic antidepressant, acting by resynchronizing circadian rhythms.
Upon approval by the European Commission expected in early 2009, Valdoxan will be available in European countries in the following months.
