EMVO (European Medicines Verification Organisation)

EMVO: European Medicines Verification Organisation. The EMVO is the governing body responsible for setting up and running the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS). The EMVO was established under the “European Stakeholder Model” by the five European trade bodies representing research-led manufacturers (EFPIA), generic manufacturers (Medicines for Europe), parallel distributors (EAEPC), wholesalers (GIRP) and pharmacies (PGEU). The EMVO is responsible for the “User Requirement Specifications” (URS) that National Medicines Verification Systems will have to meet. It has also established the Blueprint model for setting up National Medicines Verification Organisations and for appointing Blueprint Service Providers to run each NMVS.
