Regulatory information – adjusted fees for applications to EMA from 1 April 2018

Fees expected to increase by 1.7%

The European Medicines Agency (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 2018

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 2017 inflation rate was 1.7%.

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 2018 meeting.

Fees charged for pharmacovigilance procedures in accordance with Regulation (EU) 658/2014 are expected to be updated in the second half of the year, in line with provisions on adjustment to inflation in that Regulation.
