The European Commission is currently reviewing the procedures for post-authorisation changes to the terms of a marketing authorisation for human medicines. This review pertains to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1234/2008, alongside the variations guidelines within the existing legal framework of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 and Directive 2001/83/EC.
In this context, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA), and the European Commission are inviting pharmaceutical industry representatives and other interested parties to provide feedback on the proposed amendments. These amendments specifically address the guidelines detailing the various categories of variations and the operation of the variations procedures.
Key Points:
- Regulations under review: Commission Regulation (EC) No 1234/2008, Regulation (EC) No 726/2004, and Directive 2001/83/EC.
- Focus: Guidelines on categories of variations and procedures.
You can find the proposed changes documents here.
