Dr. Paul Corkery:

I spoke to my colleagues about it earlier. We are moving in the community towards having a harmonised model in these regulations. It is not a cliff edge. By 2027 all the products that exist in all the member states must be on a centralised system, called the Union product database. The European Union is moving towards having harmonised medicine availability throughout the whole community. In time, not only will we have it North and South, but we will have it throughout the entire community. We will have a harmonised set of veterinary medicinal products throughout the community.
