Overview
The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has completed a referral procedure following a disagreement among Member States of the European Union regarding the authorisation of the medicine Sanohex. The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has concluded that the benefits of Sanohex outweigh its risks, and that the marketing authorisation can be granted in Sweden as well as in the following Member States of the European Union: Austria, Germany, Ireland and Spain.
The review was carried out under an 'Article 29' referral1.
The European Commission issued a decision on 12 March 2009.
1 Article 29 of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended, referral on the grounds of potential serious risk to public health
