Requirements with the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA)
When is it required?

As required by current regulations of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA), all companies holding marketing authorizations (MAs) in Italy or with registered offices, branches, or representative offices in Italy who intend to contribute financially or through sponsorship to educational events involving drugs for human use are required to submit a pre-request for authorization to AIFA at least 70 days prior to the event.

When is it not necessary?

Please note that the AIFA authorization is *NOT* necessary when:

  • A company promotes only medical devices or food supplements during a meeting (products without Marketing Authorization) but subjected to MEDTECH authorization (if the company is associated);
  • When a company sponsors a meeting about arguments not related to the use of any of its pharmaceutical products; in this case the company is not allowed to expose or distribute any kind of advertising material during the meeting (Section 9 art. 124 D.L. n.219/06).
