European variations regulatory consulting services
The new variations regulation (EC) 1234/2008 effective January 2010 applies for human and veterinary marketing authorizations granted through mutual recognition process (MRP), decentralized (DCP) or centralized procedure (CP). The new regulations also apply to purely national authorizations but can be implemented gradually; some competent authorities that are proactively adopting the regulations, from 1 January 2010 for purely National Authorizations, include the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
2010 Variations and Lifecycle Management Implications
A completely new system of product variations and extensions is being put in place by the EU Commission effective January 2010 that is clearer and more systematic than ever before. This time around, unlike the regulations previously introduced in 2003, even National Procedures have to follow the European system to ensure a harmonized approach. The impact on product lifecycle management goes without saying. It's a change you need to address now if you have, or plan to have, products on the market in Europe governed by EU Commission regulations. Take advantage of a more streamlined regulatory approach with clearer requirements (it's more than CMC now), more flexibility and efficiencies for post marketing activities. And, ideally the waiting queues for new product filings may become more favorable due to this new system if utilized effectively by industry.
