BREXIT – What's Changing for Life Science Product License Holders/Manufacturers and What You Need to Do Right Now?

Why Should You Attend:

The United Kingdom submitted its’ notification on 29 March 2017 to withdraw from the European Union. This means that unless a withdrawal agreement establishes another date, all EU primary and secondary Laws cease to apply to the UK from 30 March 2019 going forward. The UK, by definition would become a “third country”. Preparing for the withdrawal doesn’t just involve the Healthcare Authorities, but every manufacturer and / or license holder of a pharmaceutical, biologic, medical device or combination product in the UK and EU.

Marketing Authorization holders of centrally authorized or mutually authorized [MRP / DCP] product licenses for pharmaceuticals and biologics along with CE-marked medical devices for human or veterinary use will have legal repercussions when the UK exits the EU. While there is still considerable uncertainty in a withdrawal agreement, there is now enough known about the likely implications that manufacturers and license holders need to start making plans NOW, so they don’t find themselves in Non-Compliance with the new legal framework.

Attend this webinar to understand how to accurately determine how Brexit will affect the operations and existing licensed Life Science Products in the UK and EU. It will allow companies to make plans on becoming compliant on “What is Known” and to remain agile as the rest of the implications become clearer.
