Implementation of the VMP Regulation
Q&A on transitional arrangements
CMDv has prepared a Q&A document in order to assist both MAHs and NCAs in the management of the transition between the requirements of Directive 2001/82/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/6.
Several items are developed in this document as renewals, update of QRD templates and transition from PSUR to signal management.
This document will be updated as required with new developments for instance the transition from the DDPS to the PSMF.
