Paragraph 39 Suspension, etc. of a marketing authorisation of a product authorised in more than one member StateI1

In the case of a veterinary medicinal product that is authorised in more than one member State, where the Secretary of State considers that a variation, suspension or revocation is necessary for the protection of human or animal health or the environment, he shall immediately refer the matter to the Agency, and shall comply with a decision of the Commission within 30 days of the decision.

Where the Secretary of State considers that immediate suspension is necessary to protect human or animal health or the environment, he may suspend the marketing and the use of the veterinary medicinal product concerned in the United Kingdom pending a decision of the Agency, and in this case he shall inform the Commission and the other member States no later than the following working day of the reasons for his action.
