The Marketing Authorisations for Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulations 1994
These Regulations implement Council Directive 93/40/EEC, which is the latest in a series of amendments to Council Directive 81/851/EEC. They provide for veterinary medicinal products to be placed on the market subject to marketing authorisations rather than the previous system of product licences. These authorisations may be granted either by the Ministers or, in accordance with Council Regulation 2309/93/EEC, by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (regulation 3).
