We received responses from 24 EEA member states as well as from the UK and Switzerland.
Regarding the Excel table, sheets 1 and 2 should be self explanatory. On sheet 3 (specialties that are not in Annex V), we have rounded the numbers in the responses (for example if it was stated that the duration is between 2 to 3 years, we calculated 2.5 years). Sheet 3A contains the original responses.
The results have been shared with the European Commission and will also be uploaded onto the ENMCA website in the members only section.
