General Food Law and Transparency Regulation : impact on the approval process of active substances in Europe
In March 2021, the Transparency Regulation revising the General Food Law entered into force, fundamentally transforming the preparation, submission, and evaluation of active substance approval dossiers. New concepts such as study notification, IUCLID submissions, and information sanitization were introduced, and applicants worked to comply with these updated requirements. Five years after its implementation, this webinar will review the major changes brought by the Regulation and how these changes have been applied in practice. It will also highlight the positive outcomes and the challenges encountered, particularly in terms of efficiency, costs, and transparency.
