Amendments have been introduced to the Rules Regulating the Circulation of Veterinary Pharmaceuticals in the EAEU Customs Area. These amendments are aimed at simplifying the registration process for certain groups of veterinary medicines.
Changes have also been introduced to the Customs Union’s individual technical regulations, allowing for the possibility of indicating the former names of a location (such as a city or a region), or an element of the street and road network in cases where the geographic location has been renamed. The indication of former location names is permitted provided that the actual place of production remains unchanged. The aim of this measure is to reduce expenses associated with product rebranding following the renaming of geographic locations.
