Regulatory information

The regulations governing research in Europe is complex and changing. In an attempt to make keeping up with current regulations as easy as possible you will find in these pages information on EU-wide and national organisations with a remit for regulation as well as relevant documents and updates.



Disclaimer!
ESGCT has compiled this page for its members as helpful information. The European union legislation published in the paper version of the 'official Journal of the European Communities' is the only one to be deemed as official.

GMP Advice

While EMEA welcomes questions on its activities and the regulatory framework within which it operates, specific questions on the interpretation of GMP requirements should be addressed, ideally by the Qualified Person, directly to the relevant supervisory authority of the Member State in which the manufacturing authorisation holder is located. Manufacturers based in third countries should contact the authority supervising the authorised importer.
