Can the Animal Health Industry unlimitedly release any type of product?
No, animal health products, whether therapeutic, immunological or management tools, must be registered by the national or the European authorities who guarantee their safety, quality and efficacy. A license is only granted after examination of the dossier by the authorities. Currently a company wishing to sell a product in several countries must hand out its dossier according to precise procedures to the authorities of each country. A product is reviewed in terms of safety, quality and efficacy in each country where a license is applied for and the countries may not use the information from each other.
