New drugs or changes to medicinal products or their manufacturing process must be registered, after extensive research, before they are allowed to enter the market. In Europe these procedures are coordinated by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA); licenses are issued by the European Committee (EC) or national Competent Authorities.
These procedures are being coordinated by Johnson&Johnson Global Regulatory Affairs , Some departments of GRA, responsible for new products and new indications, as well as for safety related matters and the registration of new manufacturing processes are based in Leiden.
