AgVetLink: Number 60, February 2007

Pending Files

Because it has been taking some companies an unreasonably long time to supply basic information, the ACVM Group has decided to change the way ‘pending/hold files’ are managed.

We are developing a system to manage this facility on a monthly basis, and timeframes will be put in place for various outstanding matters. For example, an audit of pending files shows that many appear to be waiting for ERMA approvals. We will discuss the situation with ERMA to ascertain if the applications for ERMA approval are being made and timeframes. If the ERMA application has not been made, we will set in place a process for cancellation of the application.

These timeframes will be announced in AgVetLink and will be communicated through letters of request for information.
