Everyone will be able to open pharmacies

Owners of pharmacies might be not only masters-pharmacists, the National Assembly voted today.

The deputies approved in first reading the amendments of the Law on medicinal products in human medicine, proposed by the Council of Ministers.

The principal requirement was signed that the holder of a marketing authorisation / certificate of registration of a medicinal product is situated in a member state or in a state of the European economic area.

It was made possible the dossier of the medicinal product to be submitted in the format of "Electronic common technical document" that should become binding upon authorisation of medicinal products in mutual recognition and decentralised procedures from January 1, 2009, and in national procedure - from January 1, 2010.
