Proceeding to civil commerce by EAEU rules: The final stage

Abstract

31 December 2025 is the deadline for proceeding to the rules of civil commerce accepted within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). According to Ekaterina M. Rychikhina, Head of Department for evaluation management and control, Scientific Centre for Expert Evaluation of Medicinal Products, the end of the transitory period is not the finishing line, but rather a new stage of development. In her exclusive interview, the expert with an unrivalled practical experience highlights the hidden risks that can emerge even if the dossier was successfully aligned, and emphasizes critical aspects that warrant particular attention from the regulatory bodies and the manufacturers. Special attention is placed on the latest amendments to the pharmaceutical civil commerce rules in the EAEU that already shape the new legal reality. The interview both announces the official position of the Centre and gives practical considerations that will help manufacturing companies avoid the mistakes and effectively interact with an expert body.
