The Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) was an EEC Committee.EEC Directive concerning the establishment of the CPMP was adopted in 1975. TheEEC Directive 75/319/EEC provided for the institution of the Committee forProprietary Medicinal Products. Article 8 of the Directive described thepurpose of the CPMP as being to facilitate the adoption of a common position bythe Member States with regard to decisions on the issuing of marketingauthorizations, thereby promoting the free movement of proprietary medicinalproducts. The most important task of the CPMP was to advise the competentauthorities in the cases in which the so-called “Multi-State procedure” wasfollowed. The rules governing the “Multi-State-procedure” were set out inDirective 75/319/EEC, and amended by Directive 83/570/EEC. In 1995 the EuropeanMedicines Agency came into operation (established in 1993 by EC Regulation No.2309/93 as the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, andrenamed by EC Regulation No. 726/2004 to the European Medicines Agency). In May2004 EMA changed the name of The Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products(CPMP) to The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), as theEuropean Medicines Agency's committee responsible for elaborating the agency'sopinions on all issues regarding medicinal products for human use.
