Fees
The Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) is a public authority financed primarily by fees and charges received from companies. This follows from a decision of the Danish parliament according to which companies must pay for the reviews that the Danish Medicines Agency carries out for them. The fees and charges cover the costs of review, for example in relation to company authorisations, applications for admission of products to the DKMA list, laboratory controls, inspections and the monitoring of side effects.
For companies holding an authorisation to manufacture cannabis bulk and cannabis primary products, an authorisation to manufacture cannabis intermediate products and an authorisation to cultivate cannabis with a view to producing cannabis suitable for medicinal use, these fees enter into force on 1 January 2022.
The fees are adjusted annually with changes in the price and wage indices. The Danish Medicines Agency sends out invoices payable within one month.
