Veterinary regulatory writing in Europe
Author: Susanne Goebel-Lauth
Abstract
Regulatory writing for the veterinary pharmaceutical industry is in many ways similar to other types of regulatory writing, but there are also clear differences. This article outlines the veterinary regulatory structure in Europe and, in particular, dossier content, competent regulatory authorities, as well as registration procedures. Adjacent fields of regulatory writing are addressed and an overview of typical documents is given. Furthermore, specific veterinary regulatory information sources for medical writers are provided.
