eCTD Transition in Tunisia: One-Month Extension of Deadlines

A new ANMPS roadmap dated March 31, 2026 has been released regarding the implementation of the electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) in Tunisia.

The updated roadmap maintains the previously announced requirements and transition steps, while introducing a one-month extension of the deadlines. In addition, greater flexibility has been granted regarding the submission methods, due to the delayed launch of the ANMPS electronic portal.

Updated Regulatory Timeline

Until May 1, 2026

Submissions including:

  • New Marketing Authorization Applications (MAA)
  • Renewals
  • Variations
  • Transfers

will continue under the current submission procedure, with prior appointment required.

From May 1, 2026

Electronic submissions (eCTD or e-submission) will become mandatory and can be performed through three channels:

  • Submission via the ANMPS eCTD portal (for applicants with portal access)
  • Submission through a secure file transfer platform
  • Delivery of a physical medium (USB drive) to ANMPS, by appointment

From June 1, 2026

All regulatory submissions to ANMPS must be exclusively in eCTD format, without exception.
