For changes involving Estonia and / or Latvia and / or Lithuania as the concerned member states, the reference member state’s (hereinafter - RMS) approval date will be indicated in section 10 of the Summary of Product Characteristics and section 6 of the Package Leaflet. It is the MAH responsibility to indicate correct date in above mentioned sections.
Possible exceptions:
- If changes related with transfer of MAH and transfer affects change of the name of medicinal product – date should be agreed nationally.
