Specifics in the Distribution of Medicinal Products

As reported on this webpage, the EU Commission decided to update the GDP Guide which was published in a revised version on 7 March 2013. The slightly revised GDP Guide has been available since November 5th 2013. The Good Distribution Practice Group (GDP Group) has summarized all language versions in its members' area for download. The following language versions are available:

Bulgarian, Spanish, Czech ,Danish, German, Estonian, Greek, English, French, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Maltese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Suomi, Swedish.

The translation process is always difficult. Translations may contain partly misleading information - as it was the case with the German translation for example. In the new version, these issues have been solved by the EU Commission (all language versions mentioned above are official translations by the EU Commission). However, if you identify discrepancies, please forward them to the EU Commission or inform us by using the contact form.

All interested persons can apply for membership at no costs. Access all current GDP News and apply for Membership in the Good Distribution Practice Group.
