Such authorisation shall be required even if the products manufactured are intended for export.

Authorisation shall also be required for imports from third countries into a Member State.

2.Authorisation, as provided for in Article 13(1) of Directive 2001/20/EC, shall not be required for reconstitution prior to use or packaging, where those processes are carried out in hospitals, health centres or clinics, by pharmacists or other persons legally authorised in the Member States to carry out such processes and if the investigational medicinal products are intended to be used exclusively in those institutions.

Article 10U.K.

(a)specify in his application the types of medicinal products and pharmaceutical forms to be manufactured or imported;

(b)specify in his application the relevant manufacture or import operations;

1.The competent authority shall issue the authorisation only after verifying the accuracy of the particulars provided by the applicant pursuant to Article 10 by the means of an inquiry carried out by its agents.

2.Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the procedure for granting an authorisation is completed within 90 days of the day on which the competent authority receives a valid application.

3.The competent authority of the Member State may require from the applicant further information concerning the particulars supplied pursuant to Article 10(1), including in particular information concerning the qualified person at the disposal of the applicant in accordance with point (e) of Article 10(1).

Where the competent authority concerned exercises that right, the application of the time-limits laid down in paragraph 2 shall be suspended until the additional data required have been supplied.

Article 12U.K.

1.In order to ensure that the requirements laid down in Article 10 are complied with, authorisation may be made conditional on the carrying out of certain obligations imposed either when authorisation is granted or at a later date.

2.An authorisation shall apply only to the premises specified in the application and to the types of medicinal products and pharmaceutical forms specified in that application pursuant to point (a) of Article 10(1).

The holder of the authorisation shall at least comply with the following requirements:

(a)

to have at his disposal the services of staff that comply with the legal requirements existing in the Member State concerned both as regards manufacture and controls;

(c)

to give prior notice to the competent authority of any changes he may wish to make to any of the particulars supplied pursuant Article 10(1) and, in particular, to inform the competent authority immediately if the qualified person referred to in Article 13(2) of Directive 2001/20/EC is replaced unexpectedly;

(d)

to allow agents of the competent authority of the Member State concerned access to his premises at any time;

(f)

to comply with the principles and guidelines for good manufacturing practice for medicinal products as laid down by Community law.

Detailed guidelines in line with the principles referred to in point (f) of the first paragraph will be published by the Commission and revised where necessary to take account of technical and scientific progress.
