Implementation date

In principle, for VRAs, the date of approval by the BASG (“Approval Date”) is adopted as the date of the amendment to the dossier (“Implementation Date”).

However, an extension of the implementation date to 12 months over the course of the QRD adaptation is possible and can be initiated in two ways:

• in the Cover letter or
• in the eAF.

Renewal

According to Article 152 Paragraph 1 of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 as amended in conjunction with Section 93 Paragraph 2 of the Veterinary Medicines Act as amended (TAMG), veterinary medicinal specialties that were approved before 28 January, 2022 on the basis of the provisions of the Medicinal Products Act (AMG) are considered to be unlimited authorised.

It is therefore neither necessary to submit an application for a renewal nor to have the marketing authorisation updated.
