Within the EMEA,a European agency for marketing authorization,a separate committee for herbal medicinal products was established as well as the previously established committees for innovative biotech medicines and veterinary medicines.Since then we have had the chance to use different national or communitywide registration procedures and also to use different levels of marketing authorizations for marketing authorization for herbal medicinal products within the European community regulations.It depends on the claim of the indication and the aim of the applier.All the manufacturers and suppliers of food supplements,especially in countries where they previously did not have any regulations for herbal medicinal products,and the manufacturers and suppliers of Chinese or Ayurveda medicine are facing huge changes in countries like the UK,Italy,Spain and Portugal,because in the future their products should,at least,fulfil the demand for the traditional use directive.Moreover,everybody has the chance to use the well established part of marketing authorization or the stand alone marketing authorization with a separate full dossier and the advantage of getting 10 years documentation and data protection within the European community.The Phytoneering concept is the leading concept in Europe to fulfil the requirements for a stand alone registration of herbal medicinal products.
