IX. Import of the Veterinary Medicinal Products Intended for Parallel Distribution

66. Parallel distribution of veterinary medicinal products is the supply of veterinary medicinal products authorised under the centralised procedure for the authorisation of medicinal products from one Member State to another Member State if it is performed by a wholesaler of veterinary medicinal products who is not the manufacturer of these veterinary medicinal products, a marketing authorisation holder or an authorised representative thereof (hereinafter - the parallel distributor).

67. The parallel distributor shall notify its intention of distributing veterinary medicinal products authorised centrally to the following:

Notes.

¹ Sertifikāts, kas ir noformēts atbilstoši Pasaules Veselības organizācijas paraugam, apliecina veterināro zāļu statusu un sertifikāta iesniedzēja statusu eksportētājvalstī un apstiprina informāciju. Sertifikāts paredzēts viena veida veterinārajām zālēm, jo dažādām zāļu formām un stiprumiem var atšķirties ražošanas nosacījumi un apstiprinātā informācija.

This certificate, which is in the format recommended by WHO, establishes the status of pharmaceutical product and of the applicant for the certificate in the exporting country. It is for a single product only since manufacturing arrangements and approved information for different dosage forms and different strengths can vary.

² Izmanto starptautisko nepatentēto nosaukumu (INN), ja tāds ir noteikts, vai nacionālo nepatentēto nosaukumu.

Whenever possible, use International Nonproprietary Names (INNs) or national nonproprietary names.

³ Sertifikātā norāda zāļu formas pilnu sastāvu vai šo informāciju pievieno sertifikāta pielikumā.

The formula (complete composition) of the dosage form should be given on the certificate or be appended.

⁴ Ieteicams detalizēts kvantitatīvais sastāvs, bet šāda norāde jāsaskaņo ar veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas apliecības īpašnieku (turētāju).

Details of quantitative composition are preferred but their provision is subject to the agreement of the product licence holder.

⁵ Ja nepieciešams, pielikumā pievieno visus veterināro zāļu pārdošanas, izplatīšanas vai lietošanas ierobežojumus, kas ir norādīti veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas apliecībā.

When applicable, append details of any restriction applied to the sale, distribution or administration of the product that is specified in the product licence.

⁶ 2.A un 2.B punkts savstarpēji viens otru izslēdz.

Section 2.A. and 2.B. are mutually exclusive.

⁷ Ja nepieciešams, norāda, vai izsniegta veterināro zāļu pagaidu reģistrācijas apliecība vai arī reģistrācija nav vēl apstiprināta.

Indicate, when applicable, if the licence is provisional, or the product has not yet been approved.

⁸ Norāda par veterināro zāļu laišanu tirgū atbildīgo personu.

Specify whether the person responsible for placing the product on the market.

⁹ Šo informāciju var norādīt tikai ar veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas apliecības īpašnieka (turētāja) piekrišanu vai, ja veterinārās zāles nav reģistrētas, - ar veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas iesnieguma iesniedzēja piekrišanu. Ja informācija šajā punktā nav iekļauta, tas nozīmē, ka iesaistītās puses nav vienojušās par informācijas iekļaušanu. Informācija par ražošanas vietu ir veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas apliecības sastāvdaļa. Ja ražošanas vieta ir mainīta, reģistrācijas apliecību attiecīgi aktualizē vai arī tā vairs nav spēkā.

This information can only be provided with the consent of the product-licence holder or, in the case of non-registered products, the applicant. Non-completion of this section indicates that the party concerned has not agreed to inclusion of this information. It should be noted that information concerning the site of production is part of the product licence. If the production site is changed, the licence has to be updated or it is no longer valid.

¹⁰ Attiecas uz tās kompetentās iestādes izstrādāto dokumentu, kura apkopo tehnisko pamatojumu attiecīgo veterināro zāļu reģistrācijai.

This refers to the document, prepared by some national regulatory authorities, that summarizes the technical basis on which the product has been licensed.

¹¹ Attiecas uz veterināro zāļu aprakstu, kuru kompetentā iestāde ir apstiprinājusi kā veterināro zāļu kopsavilkumu.

This refers to product information approved by the competent national regulatory authority, such as Summary Product Characteristics (SPC).

¹² Šajos apstākļos ir nepieciešama veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas apliecības īpašnieka (turētāja) atļauja sertifikāta izsniegšanai, ko sertifikāta pretendents iesniedz Pārtikas un veterinārajā dienestā.

In this circumstance, permission for issuing the certificate is required from the product - licence holder. This permission has to be provided to the authority by the applicant.

¹³ Norāda iemeslu, kādēļ veterināro zāļu reģistrācija nav pieprasīta:

a) veterinārās zāles ir izstrādātas ekskluzīvi tādu slimību ārstēšanai, kas nav izplatītas eksportētājvalstī;

b) veterinārās zāles ir pārveidotas, lai uzlabotu to stabilitāti (noturīgumu) atšķirīgos apkārtējās vides (piemēram, tropu) apstākļos;

c) veterinārās zāles ir pārveidotas, lai no tām izņemtu palīgvielas, ko aizliegts lietot importētājvalstī;

d) veterinārās zāles ir pārveidotas, lai atbilstu atšķirīgai aktīvās vielas maksimālās devas robežai;

e) citi iemesli (norādīt).

Please indicate the reason that the applicant has provided for not requesting registration.

a. the product has been developed exclusively for the treatment of conditions-particularly tropical diseases- not endemic in the country of export;

b. the product has been reformulated with a view to improving its stability under tropical conditions;

c. the product has been reformulated to exclude excipients not approved for use in pharmaceutical products in the country of import;

d. the product has been reformulated to meet a different maximum dosage limit for an active ingredient;

e. any other reason, please specify.

¹⁴ "Nepiemēro" nozīmē, ka veterinārās zāles neražo sertifikāta izsniedzējvalstī un ražošanas vietas pārbaudes veic veterināro zāļu ražotājvalsts kompetentā institūcija.

"Not applicable" means manufacture is taking place in a country other than that issuing the product certificate and inspection is conducted under the aegis of the country of manufacture.

¹⁵ Labas ražošanas prakses prasības zāļu ražošanai un kvalitātes kontrolei, uz ko atsaucas sertifikātā, ir iekļautas normatīvajos aktos par veterināro zāļu ražošanu un kontroli vai Pasaules Veselības organizācijas Farmaceitisko izstrādājumu specifikāciju ekspertu komitejas 32. ziņojumā (PVO Tehnisko ziņojumu sērija, Nr. 823, 1992, 1. pielikums). Ieteikumus attiecībā uz bioloģiskiem produktiem ir noteikusi PVO Bioloģisko standartu ekspertu komiteja (PVO Tehnisko ziņojumu sērija, Nr. 822, 1992, 1. pielikums).

The requirements for good practices in the manufacture and quality control of drugs referred to in the certificate are those included in the thirty-second report of the Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations, WHO Technical Report Series No. 823, 1992, Annex 1. Recommendations specifically applicable to biological products have been formulated by the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (WHO Technical Report Series, No. 822, 1992, Annex 1).

¹⁶ Šo daļu aizpilda, ja veterināro zāļu reģistrācijas apliecības īpašnieks (turētājs) vai sertifikāta pretendents atbilst statusam, kas noteikts 2.A. 3. vai 2.B. 2. punkta "b", "c" vai "d" apakšpunktā. Tas ir īpaši būtiski, ja veterināro zāļu ražošanas procesā ir iesaistīts līgumražotājs citā valstī.

This section is to be completed when the product-licence holder or applicant conforms to status (b) or (c) as described in 2.A.3. or 2.B.2. It is of particular importance when foreign contractors are involved in the manufacture of the product. In these circumstances the applicant should supply the certifying authority with information to identify the contracting parties responsible for each stage of manufacture of the finished dosage form, and the extent and nature of any controls exercised over each of these parties.
