Food and Veterinary Service participates in EU4Health Joint Action EU4H 11(Joint Action on quality of medicines and implementation of the pharmaceutical legislation/strategy). It is a ipart of the EU4Health programme funded by the European Commission.
The project aims at strengthening capacities of EU/EEA GMP/GDP inspectorates in the global vision of mutual reliance of inspection data to better ensure quality of medicinal products and protection of Public Health.
39 EU/EEA Medicines Inspectorates from a total of 29 EU/EEA countries are participating in EU4H11: they are supervising the regulatory compliance of pharmaceutical manufacturers of human and veterinary medicines throughout EU/EEA. The Joint Action is steered by Austria (AGES/BASG) as Coordinator, together with the National Competent Authorities of France (ANSM), Croatia (HALMED) and Hungary (NCPHP) as work package leaders.
The three main goals of EU4H 11 are:
- Strengthening the Joint Audit Programme (JAP) for EU/EEA GMP Inspectorates.
- Developing a proposal to include GDP to the existing Joint Audit Programme.
- Establishing harmonised training and qualification processes for GMP inspectors, in cooperation with the PIC/S Inspectorates’ Academy.
In addition, the co-financing of costs related to JAP activities supports member states’ participation in the JAP. The co-financing of costs related to training activities supports initial and continuous training of GMP inspectors, thus enhancing competences of GMP inspectors throughout EU/EEA.
