Under the decentralised procedure (DCP), it is possible to apply for authorisation in several EU (EEA) countries simultaneously. Unlike the mutual recognition procedure, this procedure does not require authorisation in an EU (EEA) country beforehand. The reference member state (RMS) is responsible for completion of the decentralised procedure and the scientific assessment of the application.

Status for 2025 up to and including 2nd quarter: Denmark has initiated 43 human DCP procedures and 0 veterinary DCP procedures, which is respectively 6 % and 0 % of all assigned DCP procedures in 2025.
