In brief
The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) has implemented a new system for the payment of clinical trial fees in Spain.
In more detail
The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) has implemented a new application form for the payment of clinical trial fees in Spain (“Application“). The Application, which is available on the AEMPS website, facilitates the payment process and eliminates payment errors that existed in the previous system.
This new method of payment of fees has been developed in accordance with the provisions of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2015, of 24 July, approving the revised text of the Law on Guarantees and Rational Use of Medicines and Medical Devices (“Law on Guarantees“), which provides for the payment of the fees to be made in electronic form, granting the AEMPS the collection management of these fees, among other particularities.
In this sense, the payers will be able to make the payment through the Application by:
- Electronic payment
- Downloading the 317 form for self-assessment
- Bank transfer
- In cash
The AEMPS has also prepared a manual for users, which contains a series of instructions on how to use the Application.
