- DAY 0: starts when every CMS has validated the documentation (every deficiency has been supplied)
- DAY 50: the CMSs send their comments
- DAY 60: the applicant sends the response to the comments
- DAY 75: the CMSs send their comments
- DAY 80: the applicant sends the response to the comments
- DAY 85: the CMSs send their comments
-
DAY 90: if there is a consensus the RMS closes the procedure – otherwise the case is referred to the CMDh (Coordination for Mutual Recognition and Decentralized Procedure)
The applicant submits the Hungarian SmPC, PIL and Labelling and therefore starts the national phase of the procedure.
