Depending on the product and its intended market, different procedures can be chosen.
National Procedure (NP):- Overview:
The National Procedure allows a company to apply for marketing authorization in a single EU member state. - Process:
The application is submitted to the national competent authority (NCA) of the chosen member state, which evaluates the dossier based on national requirements. - Scope:
Typically chosen for products intended to be marketed in only one member state or when a company wants to proceed with staggered submissions across different countries.
- Overview:
The Decentralized Procedure is used when a company seeks simultaneous marketing authorization in multiple EU/EEA member states. - Process:
One member state acts as the Reference Member State (RMS), and other Concerned Member States (CMS) assess the application in parallel. - Scope:
Ideal for products not previously authorized in any EU member state or for those seeking broad market access across Europe.
- Overview:
The Centralized Procedure involves a single application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for approval valid throughout the EU/EEA. - Process:
The EMA evaluates the application in collaboration with experts from all EU member states. - Scope:
Mandatory for certain types of medicines, such as biotechnology products, orphan drugs, and medicines for serious diseases like cancer or HIV/AIDS.
- Overview:
The Mutual Recognition Procedure is used when a product is already authorized in one EU member state and seeks authorization in other member states. - Process:
The Reference Member State (RMS) issues an initial authorization, which other Concerned Member States (CMS) then recognize through a simplified procedure. - Scope:
Facilitates market access expansion across the EU while leveraging an existing national authorization.
