Concerned Member State in an EU authorisation procedure.
In decentralised (DCP) and mutual recognition (MRP) procedures, a Concerned Member State (CMS) is an EU country participating in the evaluation of a marketing authorisation application, under the coordination of a Reference Member State (RMS).
The CMS must review, accept, or comment on the RMS’s scientific assessment, and its agreement is required to obtain market authorisation in that country.
