Written by Leona Nepejchalová   

In the European Union (EU), a company that wishes to bring a veterinary medicine to the market may submit a single application to the EMEA for a 'marketing authorisation' (licence) that is valid simultaneously in all EU Member States, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. This is called the 'centralised (or 'Community') authorisation procedure', and is mandatory for certain types of veterinary medicines and optional for others. (The precise scope is set out in Annex of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004.)
