The authorisation and registration statistics are structured in a general overview of completed applications, applications submitted, and number of open – yet to be processed – applications (page 1) and in the following detailed overviews (pages 2-6). These detailed overviews show a differentiation of the various procedures (national procedures, parallel imports, phytotherapeutic medicinal products, anthroposophic/homoeopathic medicinal products, European procedures: Decentralised Procedures (DCP) with Germany as Reference (RMS) or Concerned (CMS) Member State, Mutual Recognition Procedures (MRP); registrations: traditional medicinal products (Section 39 a-d AMG), traditional phytotherapeutic medicinal products (Section 39 a-d, Section 141(14) AMG) and other registrations (Section 38 AMG)).

Authorisation procedures are differentiated by new (subject to prescription) and known active substances.
