The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is responsible for the scientific evaluation of centralised marketing authorisation applications. EMA’s opinion refers to its scientific recommendation, upon which the European Commission bases its legal decision to grant an EU marketing authorisation.
a Upon granting of the marketing authorisation, the marketing authorisation holder is allowed to market the product in all EU/EEA member states. The medicinal product might be marketed by a different license holder outside the EU/EEA.
