6.—(1) This paragraph applies in relation to an EU marketing authorisation which was in force immediately before IP completion day.
(2) An EU marketing authorisation to which this paragraph applies—
(a)insofar as it authorises sale or supply of a medicinal product in Great Britain, has effect on and after IP completion day as a UKMA(GB) granted under regulation 49(1) of these Regulations (but, insofar as it authorises sale or supply of a medicinal product in Northern Ireland, continues to operate in Northern Ireland as an EU marketing authorisation); and
(b)is referred to in this Part as a “converted EU marketing authorisation”.
(3) If the holder of an EU marketing authorisation to which this paragraph applies notifies the licensing authority in writing before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with IP completion day that it does not wish to be the holder of a converted EU marketing authorisation, the licensing authority must revoke the converted EU marketing authorisation with effect from the date of receipt of the notification.
(4) A converted EU marketing authorisation—
(a)is treated as if it had been granted by the licensing authority under regulation 49(1) on the same terms as those on which the EU marketing authorisation was granted, including any conditions or restrictions subject to which the EU marketing authorisation was granted and which remain in force immediately before IP completion day;
(b)is treated, for the purposes of regulations 65 or 65B (validity of UK marketing authorisation), as if it had been granted by the licensing authority on the date that the EU marketing authorisation took effect;
(c)is treated for the purposes of regulation 67(1) (failure to place on the market) as if it had been granted on IP completion day, and the period of three years referred to in regulation 67(2) is treated as having started on IP completion day;
(d)is treated for the purposes of determining the relevant fee period for the purposes of Schedule 4 to the Fees Regulations (periodic fees for marketing authorisations) as if it had been granted by the licensing authority on the date that the EU marketing authorisation took effect;
(e)is treated, for the purposes of the reference to the date of grant in regulation 27A(a) of the Fees Regulations (fees for renewals of a marketing authorisation) as if it had been granted on the date that the EU marketing authorisation took effect;
(f)retains, for the purposes of regulation 51A(1) and (6), the benefit of any remaining periods of data or marketing exclusivity (if any) from which the holder benefitted immediately before IP completion day;
(g)retains the benefit of any decision by the EMA to exempt the holder from Articles 14(4) or (5) of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 (failure to place on the market), and that decision is treated as if it had been made by the licensing authority under regulation 67(3); and
(h)remains subject to—
(i)any suspension of the EU marketing authorisation that is in force immediately before IP completion day,
(ii)any post-authorisation obligations imposed after it was granted, and which remain in force immediately before IP completion day, and
(iii)any variation to its terms which were granted or accepted before IP completion day.
(5) For the purposes of this paragraph, an EU marketing authorisation is in force, even if that authorisation is suspended immediately before IP completion day.
(6) A converted EU marketing authorisation to which this paragraph applies which—
(a)was granted as a conditional marketing authorisation within the meaning of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 507/2006; and
(b)remains such a conditional marketing authorisation immediately before IP completion day,
has effect on and after IP completion day as a UK marketing authorisation granted under regulation 58F.
(7) A converted EU marketing authorisation to which this paragraph applies which relates to a medicinal product which—
(a)was designated as an orphan medicinal product by the European Commission pursuant to Article 5 of the Orphan Regulation; and
(b)remains in the Community register of Orphan Medicinal Products as referred to in that Article immediately before IP completion day,
has effect on and after IP completion day as a UK marketing authorisation granted under regulation 58C and retains, for the purposes of regulation 58D, the benefit of any period of marketing exclusivity from which the holder benefitted immediately before IP completion day under Article 8 of the Orphan Regulation.]
