With the amendments in the EU pharmacovigilance framework (article 104, paragraph 4 of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended by Directive 2010/84/EU) the Member States have the right to request the assignment of a local person for pharmacovigilance issues at national level reporting to the European qualified person responsible for pharmacovigilance activities (EU QPPV= .

Some Member States (e.g. Latvia, Portugal, Cyprus, Croatia, Belgium, Bulgaria and Spain) have a requirement for a local contact person to be formally nominated for pharmacovigilance issues at national level. However, the National Competent Authority (ANMDM) in other Member States may request the nomination of a contact person for pharmacovigilance issues at national level who reports to the EU QPPV. From this perspective it is recommendable for the MAHs to appoint a local contact person for pharmacovigilance issues although it is not related to an administratively predefined deadline as it was done in other member states.
