Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Dr. Paul Corkery:

For example, we issue special animal remedy licences and if we run out of a product here, say a vaccine, and a similar product is authorised in any other member state, we can issue a licence to import that product. What happens now is if it is on the centralised database system we do not have to issue a special licence, it is automatically authorised here.
