Volume 7 of the publications "The rules governing medicinal products in the European Union" contains scientific guidelines prepared by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) in consultation with the competent authorities of the EU Member States, to help applicants prepare marketing-authorisation applications for medicinal products for veterinary use.
Guidelines are intended to provide a basis for practical harmonisation of the manner in which the EU Member States and the EMA interpret and apply the detailed requirements for the demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy contained in the Community Directives. They also help to ensure that applications for marketing authorisation are prepared in a manner that will be recognised as valid by the EMA.
