THE European Medicines
Agency (EMA) has said the EU’s
decentralised system is being
used as a model to accelerate

Australia is involved in the first
phase of this pilot project.
The decentralised procedure
meant assessment reports would
be shared in real time with
collaborating regulatory bodies
upon request from a generic
company, the EMA said.
Sharing assessments would
reinforce collaboration between
regulatory authorities globally and
should enable medicines to be
authorised in different areas in a
coordinated way at about the same
time, the EMA said.
New Zealand was a member of
the IGDRP and might decide to take
part at a later stage, the EMA said.
