When registration is suspended or withdrawn, the holder informs the stockholders without delay. They must take all necessary steps to stop the distribution of the medicinal product. If these steps are not taken within a timeframe compatible with the interests of public health, the Director General of the Agency will take all appropriate measures.
Independently of suspension or withdrawal decisions and for the reasons that justify them, the Director General of the Agency may prohibit, as a precautionary measure, the supply of a registered medicinal product, limiting this prohibition, where appropriate, solely to the batches that are the subject of dispute, and recall the corresponding batches.
