Where a medicinal product is authorised in another Member State of the European Union or a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, but is not the subject in France of either the marketing authorisation provided for in Article L. 5121-8 or an application under examination for such authorisation, the Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé may, on justified public health grounds, authorise the marketing of this medicinal product. Authorisation may be granted for a fixed period and renewed under conditions laid down by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
