Dublin, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "EU (European Union) Proposed Pharmaceutical Legislation Changes Training Course" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
In the dynamic and highly regulated field of pharmaceuticals, staying abreast of regulatory affairs is crucial for ensuring compliance, maintaining market authorisations, and effectively managing drug development and post-approval obligations. Navigating the complexities of regulatory processes, particularly in the context of evolving legislation, can be challenging. This is where a comprehensive understanding of pharmaceutical regulatory affairs is invaluable.
It is important that companies are aware of proposed changes to pharmaceutical legislation in the EU and the potential impact on company planning and strategy.
The EU (European Union) on 23rd April 2023 published proposed changes to pharmaceutical legislation. Discussions between the EU Commission, the MS (Member State) and all stakeholders are ongoing. Review by the European Parliament and the EU Council is required before ratification and implementation which is unlikely to be implemented before 2025/2026.
Developing products is a lengthy process and the cost of developing new and modified products is increasing. It is therefore important to be aware of procedures and timelines for obtaining marketing authorisations and importantly to know what if any post approval data and marketing protection will be available.
The programme will cover current pharmaceuticals legislation in the EU. The background to the proposed changes in pharmaceuticals legislation will be outlined with discussed in the relevant sections including proposed changes to procedures for obtaining marketing authorisation in the EU, and post-authorisation data and marketing protection criteria and periods.
The UK is no longer a member of the EU but knowledge of interactions and collaboration with the EU and other regulatory agencies are essential for obtaining and maintaining marketing authorisations in the UK.
The format will provide opportunities for discussion and for sharing of concerns and experiences with our expert trainer and other delegates.
