The legislation that will come into force in a no-deal Brexit will, subject to being approved by Parliament, automatically convert Community Marketing Authorisations (CMAs) into UK Marketing Authorisations (MAs) on 31 October 2019 (so-called ‘grandfathering’).
To facilitate the grandfathering process. The MHRA has sent a letter to MAHs that sets out the actions that companies are requested to take concerning authorised Community Marketing Authorisations (CMAs) or inflight CAPS.
We have allocated a PL number based on each presentation within the product range rather than a separate number for each pack size. This means that there will usually be fewer UK authorisation numbers issued compared with those issued by the European Medicines Agency.
If your company holds one or more CMA and has not received this second letter, please email capconversion@mhra.gov.uk so we can verify the appropriate contact details.
For more information see our guidance on Converting Centrally Authorised Products (CAPs) to UK Marketing Authorisations (MAs), ‘grandfathering’ and managing lifecycle changes.
The UK supports this resolution, L.16, and the renewal of the mandate of the Group of Eminent Experts for a further year.
The most recent report produced by this group set out in stark terms the impact of the conflict on the lives of civilians, and the obligation on all parties to the conflict to adhere to their international legal obligations.
We believe the group has done this in a fair and balanced manner, though we would encourage them to also examine the conduct of those who back the protagonists. Iran’s role in the violation of human rights in this conflict, through their support for the Houthi rebels, is something that should not be ignored.
It is regrettable that the work of this group is not universally supported, and that the experts have not had the necessary access to the conflict zone, or been able to visit many of the countries that are engaged in the conflict. We encourage engagement with the Group as a means of ensuring that their conclusions are as well informed as possible, and that they reflect the views of all.
It is also regrettable that there will again be two resolutions on Yemen. The impact of this Council is greater when it speaks with one voice on issues of such clear human rights concern. We commend the efforts made to explore possible common ground, and encourage them to continue to engage over the coming year.
In our view this resolution should be adopted by consensus. If a vote is called on it, the UK will vote in favour, and encourages others to also vote yes.
The new British High Commissioner to Sierra Leone, Mr. Simon Mustard, presented his letters of credence to His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio on Wednesday 18th September 2019, at State House in Freetown.
On accepting the Letters of Credence, President Dr. Julius Maada Bio said:
“My government is very focused on human capital development, in both health and education terms, and keen to build greater capacity in key institutions to help foster and sustain economic growth. I hope the UK will continue to be active partners in these areas, alongside our continuing partnership in security.”
In presenting his Credentials, Mr Simon Mustard said:
“I have already seen first-hand the deep partnership and friendship that exists between our countries, in areas ranging from security, to development, education, business growth and people to people links. I want to strengthen those links over the next few years, including pursuing greater innovation and city to city connections.”
Before arriving in Freetown, Simon served in a variety of roles in the Diplomatic Service, including in Central America, Washington, the Middle East, London, as well as the UK’s Special Envoy to Africa’s Great Lakes Region and High Commissioner to Malawi. He comes from the City of Hull, birthplace of William Wilberforce. He is keen to see the existing links between Freetown and Hull develop further.
