The authorisation provided for in Article R. 5132-74 is issued by the Director General of the Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé, after obtaining the opinion of the Director General of the Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail, for the pharmaceutical establishments within its remit. The Director General of the Agency will notify the applicant of his decision within two months of the date on which the application is deemed to be complete. At the end of this period, the absence of a decision by the Director General is equivalent to a rejection decision.
A change in any of the elements mentioned in the application invalidates the authorisation previously granted. The holder will inform the Director General of the Agency and return the document certifying the authorisation.
The provisions of the previous paragraph do not apply when the delegated pharmacist mentioned in article L. 5124-2, who holds the authorisation provided for in article R. 5132-74, changes pharmaceutical establishment within the same pharmaceutical company. In this case, he must inform the Director General of the Agency without delay.
