  • 1.  User Fees for EU

    Posted 14-Nov-2017 14:51

    My experience with User Fees is limited to US/FDA for applications, efficacy supplements and the new Program fees. I'm wondering if other health authorities issue similar fees  - specifically in the EU?  Also, in US it is the applicant/sponsor's responsibility to pay the fees while contract manufacturing organizations are not responsible for these fees.   Would CMO's be responsible for EU fees?  I would think not but would appreciate confirmation.  Thank you.

    Hi Tom,

    To get this thread rolling, I suggest reviewing this (http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/regulation/document_listing/document_listing_000327.jsp) and (http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/regulation/general/general_content_000632.jsp&mid=WC0b01ac058089682b).

    I recently reviewed these as they pertain to my situation -- we the sponsor footed fees applicable as we were the MAH. Fees can vary depending on if your company qualifies as a micro/small/medium size enterprise. If you qualify for said enterprise sizes, then you can get a number of the fees deferred/reduced.

    Tom,
    All EU agencies impose user fees. As fas as I'm aware, they are always paid by the MAH, not the CMO.  However, there are over 30 agencies who issue marketing authorisations in the EU and each one has its own categories  and fee levels.  
    If you have a specific regulatory submission in mind the following site is useful to estimate likely costs: http://regulatory-fees.eu/
