Mutual Recognition Agreement Korea

13 Déc Mutual Recognition Agreement Korea

The transition period for medicines for human use, which is covered by the agreement, ended on 11 July 2019: during a transition period, the authorities assess pharmaceutical legislation, advisory documents and regulatory systems on the other as part of the agreement. A Canada/EU MRA came into force in 1998. It has a framework agreement with six sectoral annexes, including telecommunications. EfTA countries (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) and Switzerland are not part of the EU, but they apply the same rules as the EU. Canada also negotiated the same MRA with EFTA and Switzerland with the EU-Canada MRA. The three MRAs are binding contracts. These agreements benefit regulators by reducing dual controls in any other area, allowing for a greater focus on sites likely to be at higher risk and increased coverage of global supply chain inspections. There are no « rules of origin » in MRAs. A CAB can test or certify devices manufactured all over the world as long as it has gone through the corresponding designation and recognition procedure.

The INTER AGREEMENT between the EU and Australia covers the following sectors In June 1998, APEC leaders voted in favour of the development of a multilateral telecommunications MRA to facilitate trade in the APEC region. It is a non-binding « agreement » as opposed to a binding « agreement » covering 21 economies. Participation in this MRA is voluntary. At the APEC TELMIN6 meeting (June 2005, Lima) and on behalf of Industry Minister Carol Swan, then Assistant Minister of APEC, congratulated APEC-TEL Ministers on the progress made in APEC TEL MRA and approved a proposal to accelerate negotiations on a new MRA on the technical requirements currently underway at APEC TEL. For national requirements, accredited CABs applying for IC recognition send the necessary information to Industry Canada (IC). For foreign purposes, accredited CABs requesting foreign recognition send the information necessary for the ICR designation. The designation by IC means that IC is in accordance with the results of the accreditation and tells our MRA partners that IC is behind the designated CABs and that they are responsible for conducting tests or certifications of devices in accordance with the technical requirements of our partners. Industry Canada establishes an ad hoc committee for each CAB application to verify the information and determine whether the CAB should be recognized or designated.

The MRA process has two phases. Phase I is mutual recognition of test reports. Phase II is the mutual recognition of certification. In any event, the parties to the MRA recognize the competence of the other to carry out their regulatory checks and/or certifications. Trade agreements are trade agreements designed to facilitate market access and promote greater international harmonization of compliance standards while protecting consumer safety. The MRA with Israel is an agreement on the evaluation of compliance and acceptance of industrial products (ACAA). It is a specific type of MRI based on the alignment of the legal system and infrastructure of the country concerned with that of the EU. The text of the Protocol on Mutual Recognition of the Results of the Compliance Assessment is part of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada, on the one hand, and the European Union and its Member States, and the other part of foreign CACs wishing to test or certify aircraft in accordance with Canadian technical requirements, must apply to an accreditation body designated by the MRA and accredited in accordance with ISO/CIS 17025 and/or ISO/IEC 65.
