Abstract

This study compared the assessment models and the regulatory review processes conducted in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. A questionnaire was completed by the 7 GCC regulatory authorities (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates [UAE], and Yemen) providing details of the regulatory review processes and timelines in the region. The results showed that Kuwait, Qatar, and Yemen use the verification model; Bahrain and Oman use an abridged review; and Saudi Arabia and UAE conduct a full review. There were 3 common phases in the GCC regulatory review process: submission, evaluation, and authorization. Key milestones within each phase were also common—receipt and validation, queuing, scientific assessment, sample analysis, sponsors’ interaction, pricing, and decision making—but target approval times and the order of some activities were different among the member states as some processes are performed in parallel rather than sequentially. The resulting similarities and differences provided an opportunity to propose a standardized regulatory review process for the GCC region.
海湾合作委员会成员国的监管审查程序:异同
本研究比较了海湾合作委员会(GCC)地区的评估模型和监管审查过程。海湾合作委员会7个监管机构(巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国和也门)完成了一份调查问卷,提供了该地区监管审查程序和时间表的详细信息。结果表明,科威特、卡塔尔和也门采用验证模型;巴林和阿曼采用了删节审查;沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋将进行全面审查。在GCC监管审查过程中有三个常见阶段:提交、评估和授权。每个阶段的关键里程碑也是相同的——接收和验证、排队、科学评估、样本分析、赞助商互动、定价和决策——但目标批准时间和一些活动的顺序在成员国之间是不同的,因为有些过程是并行执行的,而不是顺序执行的。由此产生的相同点和不同点为海湾合作委员会区域提出标准化监管审查程序提供了机会。
