(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Medicines (Products for Animal Use - Fees) Regulations 1998 ("the principal Regulations"). The principal Regulations prescribe fees in connection with applications and inspections relating to:
-
(a) marketing authorisations under the Marketing Authorisations for Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3142);
(b) licences and certificates granted under the Medicines Act 1968 in so far as they apply to medicinal products for animal use; and
(c) the registration of homoeopathic veterinary medicinal products.
In prescribing fees in relation to the 1994 Regulations, the principal Regulations as amended by these Regulations continue to supplement the 1994 Regulations in implementing Council Directive 93/40/EEC (OJ No. L214, 24.8.93, page 31) which contains amendments to Council Directive 81/851/EEC (OJ No. L317, 6.11.81, page 1).
Regulation 2 prescribes new fees in relation to the provisions of the principal Regulations set out in column (1) of the Schedule to these Regulations. The fees in the principal Regulations are set out in column (3) and the new fees prescribed by these Regulations in column (4) of the Schedule.
Regulation 3 amends Parts II and III of Schedule 3 (calculation of annual fees) to the principal Regulations by prescribing new fees and, where the fee is charged on a percentage of turnover, new percentage amounts.
The average level of fees payable under these Regulations is increased by 5.5% in comparison with the principal Regulations.
Regulation 4 provides that the Regulations, subject to the exceptions in regulation 4(2) and (3), apply to applications made after the Regulations come into force and do not affect annual fees relating to a calendar year earlier than 1998.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and a copy has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies may be obtained from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, Woodham Lane, New Haw, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 3LS.
