30 March 2020 - EMA has implemented a new system to issue electronic certificates for human and veterinary medicines. 

As of today, the Agency will no longer provide printed certificates but only electronically signed and authenticated certificates to maintain EMA’s ability to provide these documents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

EMA issues certificates on behalf of the European Commission to confirm the marketing authorisation status of products either authorised by the Commission through the centralised procedure or medicinal products for which a scientific opinion pursuant to Article 58 of Regulation 726/2004/EC has been granted by the CHMP.
