The impact of Brexit on the pharmaceutical industry
19
APRIL, 2018.
At the European Union (EU) membership referendum held in 2016, it was decided that the United Kingdom (UK) would leave the EU in a withdrawal process known as “Brexit”. Following the activation of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, an official two-year withdrawal procedure was initiated, whereby the UK would finally leave the EU on 29 March 2019 after 45 years of membership.
Due to the substantial incertitude relating to the particulars of the withdrawal agreement, marketing authorisation holders (MAHs) of centrally authorised medicinal products must in due course consider the possible legal consequences. Therefore, MAHs of centrally authorised medicinal products should transfer the marketing authorisation to MAHs established in the Union (European Economic Area, EEA).
As a consequence of Brexit, MAHs of medicinal products authorised in a mutual recognition procedure (MRP) and decentralised procedure (DCP) where the UK is the reference member state (RMS) should designate a new RMS among the EU member states.
The Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of Croatia (HALMED) has announced its capacity to take up the role of the RMS for medicinal products authorised in the MRP and DCP where the UK acts as the RMS. This implies that HALMED may take up the role of the RMS only for those procedures where it is involved as a concerned member state (CMS).
For nationally authorised medicinal products, MAHs located in the UK must also transfer the marketing authorisation to MAHs established in the EEA.
As a consequence of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, the pharmaceutical industry will face many challenges that it will need to grapple with during the transition period. The real impact and scope of Brexit will only become visible during the next few years.
