Compliance with GMP and GDP regulations is essential for medicinal product development, manufacturing and distribution companies. Despite the recent Memorandum of Understanding between FDA and EMA, the two major regulatory bodies have different legal structures, functions and regulatory emphasis. Understanding of these similarities and differences ensures success during regulatory inspections.
