The recommended procedures

The recommended procedures for submitting correct and complete reporting of marketing authorization holders on the volume of supplies of human medicinal products placed on the market in the Czech Republic (REG-13).  

Effect from 4.1.2018

 

With a view to the need of state administration to work with current, correct and complete data allowing to obtain a overall overview of availability of human medicinal products in the Czech Republic and fulfilment of the tasks defined for the State Institute for Drug Control (hereinafter referred to as the “Institute”) by the Act No 378/2007 Coll., on Pharmaceuticals and on Amendments to Some Related Acts (hereinafter referred to as the “Act on Pharmaceuticals”), for the purpose of technical assistance and unification of reporting procedures the Institute publishes the recommended procedures for the fulfilment of the Marketing Authorization holder's obligations (hereinafter referred to as the “registration holder”) stipulated in Section 33, paragraph 2 of the Act on Pharmaceuticals.

 

The scope of the data that the holders of registration are required to provide to the Institute via an electronic reporting is implied by Section 33, paragraph 2 of the Act on Pharmaceuticals as amended at the time of effect from 1.12.2017 in connection with implementing legal regulation*.

 

On the basis of the data from reporting provided by the registration holders, distributors and pharmacies, the Institute obtains information on the quantity of registered medicinal products available in the Czech Republic, which can then be used as the basis of issuing the Ministry of Health measures referred to under Section 11 (q) of the Act on Pharmaceuticals, by which are medicinal products, in the lack of which the availability and effectiveness of treatment of patients in the Czech Republic will be endangered, put on the list to under Section 77 (c) of the Act on Pharmaceuticals ( so called the list of irreplaceable medicinal products) – link http://www.mzcr.cz/dokumenty/seznam-lecivych-pripavkujejichz-distribuci-do-zahranici-maji-distributori-povi_14530_883_1.html.

 

A functional system for reporting is part of the obligations that the Act on Pharmaceuticals imposes on compliance and will be subject to regular review by the Institute. Failure of the registration holder to observe this obligation shall be classified as an offence referred to under Section 105, paragraph 5(c) and the Institute shall take the course of action outlined under Section 107, paragraph 1(c) of the Act on Pharmaceuticals.

 

A. Requirements governing the reporting of deliveries of medicinal products
