Marketing authorisation holders must provide Swedish summaries of product characteristics for medicines within a transition period ending in 2022

As of 9 February 2019, submission of Swedish summaries of product characteristics has been a mandatory requirement for all new marketing authorisations of human and veterinary medicinal products in Finland.

A Swedish summary of product characteristics is required for all marketing authorisation applications submitted after 9 February 2019. For marketing authorisations already issued as well as for marketing authorisation applications submitted before 9 February 2019, a three-year transition period is allowed. The transition period will end on 9 February 2022.
