Marketing authorisations: EU decentralised procedure—flowchart

Marketing authorisations: EU decentralised procedure—flowchart No medicinal product may be placed on the market unless it has been approved. This Flowchart outlines the procedure for obtaining an approval known as a marketing authorisation (MA) through the EU decentralised procedure. The decentralised procedure is used to obtain MAs for medicinal products in more than one EU Member State in parallel. A medicine may only be authorised in individual Member States in parallel if it is not mandated to be authorised via the centralised procedure (ie products containing new active substances; products which constitute a significant therapeutic, scientific or technical innovation or products for which the granting of an EU authorisation would be in the interest of patients or animal health at EU level) and medicines that have not received an MA in any Member State already at the time a decentralised application is

This Practice Note refers only to the law in England; note that different provisions apply to Wales.The public has a right to expect high standards of conduct from their elected members. Up to 1 July 2012, local authority (LA) members had to comply with the ethical standards framework under Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 (LGA 2000) that built on recommendations in the Third Report of Lord Nolan's Committee on Standards in Public Life.The Localism Act 2011 (LA 2011) amends LGA 2000, so that Part III only applies to Wales, and makes fundamental changes to the system of regulation of standards of conduct for elected and co-opted councillors in England from 1 July 2012. The provisions of LA 2011 apply to 'relevant authorities', which include a county council in England, a district council, a London borough council, a parish council and the Greater London authority.Though the Local Authorities (Model Code of Conduct) Order 2007, SI 2007/1159 was repealed on 1 July 2012, and members no longer have to...

How might the European Commission proposal for new conflict of law rules for assigned claims impact the secondary loan market?

How might the European Commission proposal for new conflict of law rules for assigned claims impact the secondary loan market? Summary This Q&A refers to the European Commission’s proposal for a Regulation on the law applicable to the third-party effects of assignments (the Proposal) published on 12th March 2018, which could have an impact on the market for trading participations in syndicated and bilateral loans. Both of the Loan Market Association (LMA) and the City of London Law Society made representations asking for the Proposal to be shelved or at least amended to accommodate current market practice in the secondary loan market. Their representations are available on their respective websites. It is fair to say that in its original form the Proposal would have disrupted the secondary loan market by making due diligence on the part of a buyer much more complicated for the reasons given below. The UK indicated on 9 July 2018, shortly after publication of this Q&A, that it would not opt in...

Where child maintenance is currently payable under the statutory scheme, but the parent with care intends to move with the child to another EU country, can the courts in England and Wales make an order for maintenance prior to the relocation for both maintenance and school fees and would that order be enforceable after the relocation? Will the position be different if the UK leaves the EU?

Where child maintenance is currently payable under the statutory scheme, but the parent with care intends to move with the child to another EU country, can the courts in England and Wales make an order for maintenance prior to the relocation for both maintenance and school fees and would that order be enforceable after the relocation? Will the position be different if the UK leaves the EU? Child maintenance is, as a general rule, governed by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) and the court does not have jurisdiction to make any order in relation to this, save in certain circumstances. This is set out in section 8 of the Child Support Act 1991 (CSA 1991), which provides that: ‘(1) This subsection applies in any case where a child support officer would have jurisdiction to make a maintenance assessment with respect to a qualifying child and an absent parent of his on an application duly made by a person entitled to apply for such an assessment with...
