Regulatory information – adjusted fees for applications to EMA from 1 April 2020

EMA reminds applicants and marketing authorisation holders that adjusted fees for all applications, except for pharmacovigilance procedures, will be coming into effect on 1 April 2020.

Every year, the European Commission adopts a regulation adjusting the fees payable to the Agency with reference to the inflation rate in the European Union for the previous year. The 2019 inflation rate was 1.6%.

EMA will publish full details of the revised fees at the end of March, once the regulation has been adopted by the European Commission and published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Agency's Management Board will decide on the implementation of the regulation at its March 2020 meeting.

Fees charged for pharmacovigilance procedures in accordance with Regulation (EU) 658/2014 are expected to be revised later in 2020, taking into account the 2018 and 2019 inflation rates.
