Information about the change in SÚKL practice of a DCP slots allocation
SÚKL informs about the planned changes in the system of allocation of slots for decentralised procedures (DCP) with SÚKL as a reference member state (RMS).
The State Institute for Drug Control (SÚKL) plans to proceed with changes in the system of DCP slot allocation in the near future. Newly it will be possible to allocate slots only with a few months’ notice (not yet specified). The aim of this modification is to increase efficiency and transparency in planning and use of available capacity.
In connection with the upcoming change, SÚKL will now no longer allocate slots for 2027 and beyond. We therefore ask the applicants to take this limitation into account in their planning. The DCP Slot Allocation article has been updated accordingly.
We will inform you in due course of the exact date of implementation of the new slot allocation practice, including the establishment of a maximum slot allocation lead time, and other related modifications to the slot allocation process. For the time being, the slots currently allocated until the end of 2026 remain valid.
