Pharmaceuticals | EU Commission launches new version of the Union Register

The European Commission is launching a new version of its Union Register of medicinal products. Available since 1995, the Union Register lists all medicinal products for human and veterinary use (over 1.300 medicines) authorised by the Commission through the centralised procedure. It also covers designation of orphan medicinal products, refused authorisations and reviews related to nationally authorised medicinal products. This update provides a whole range of additional features, including filtering and export functionalities, and aims at offering an improved experience for all users through simplified navigation and greater compatibility with mobile devices.

For more information on the marketing authorisation process, you can consult this "Frequently Asked Questions" document.
