Procedure for declaring the cessation of marketing or the withdrawal of marketing authorization of veterinary a medicinal product in France
Paragraph 13 of Article 58 of European Regulation 2019/06 specifies that the marketing authorisation holder shall without delay inform the competent authority which has granted the marketing authorisation or the Commission, as applicable, of any action which he intends to take in order to cease the marketing of a veterinary medicinal product prior to taking such action, together with the reasons for such action.

This declaration use the reporting template available on the ANSES website. The corresponding email should be sent to DQ_ANMV@anses.fr.
After examining the data provided, the impact of the marketing suspension on the national market is assessed by Anses-ANMV. In the event of a major impact, the search for transitional and alternative measures is continued.
