Governance

ICEMVO is responsible for setting up and managing the Icelandic medicines verification system, including the repository of unique identifiers.

The Icelandic Medicines Agency is responsible for supervising the functioning of the repository system and ensuring that ICEMVO, as the legal entity responsible for the establishment and management of the repository, complies with the relevant requirements defined in EU/EEA law.

The Ministry of Health is also monitoring progress with ICEMVO as the Icelandic Government has overall responsibility for ensuring that EEA obligations, including the new measures relating to falsified medicines, are fully implemented in Iceland within the specified timelines.
