Last week the European Medicines Verification Organisation (EMVO) sent a letter to all of their “Onboarding Partners” (OBPs), or drug marketing authorisation holders (MAHs) informing them of a problem EMVO is seeing with many of the expiration dates on drugs being uploaded.  The problem they highlighted in the letter has been recognized by people around the world, and each country has decided to handle it slightly differently.  Drug manufacturers should be aware of these differences to ensure compliance and avoid false failed verifications.  Let’s take a closer look at the issue and what each country expects you to do about it.
