The MAH is required to consider technical and scientific progress and therefore changes may be required to the registered VPP over time. The MAH may also wish to alter or to improve the VPP or to introduce an additional safeguard. Regulation of pharmaceutical products is, therefore considered dynamic, taking into account that changes to the original dossier that was used for registration of the VPP may become necessary during the lifetime of the product. Any changes to a registered VPP, i.e., variations, whether administrative or substantial, are subject to approval by NRAs.Item Application form for a mutual recognition application for the registration of veterinary pharmaceutical product(s) in the East African Community(East African Community, 2019) East African CommunityApplication form for a mutual recognition application for the registration of veterinary pharmaceutical product(s) in the East African CommunityItem Application form for a variation to the marketing authorization of an immunological veterinary product registered through the EAC mutual recognition procedure(East African Community, 2021) East African CommunityApplication form for a variation to the marketing authorization of an immunological veterinary product registered through the EAC mutual recognition procedureItem Application form for GMP inspection of veterinary medicinal products using mutual recognition processes in the East African Region(East African Community, 2021) East African CommunityApplication form for GMP inspection of veterinary medicinal products using mutual recognition processes in the East African RegionItem Application form for a repeat use mutual recognition procedure for a veterinary immunological product registered through a mutual recognition procedure in the East African Community(East African Community, 2021) East African CommunityApplication form for a repeat use mutual recognition procedure for a veterinary immunological product registered through a mutual recognition procedure in the East African CommunityItem Application form for a mutual recognition procedure for the registration of immunological veterinary product(s) in the East Africa region(East African Community, 2021) East African CommunityApplication form for a mutual recognition procedure for the registration of immunological veterinary product(s) in the East Africa region
