eAF issue with webservices
An issue relating to the eAF webservice update has affected availability of terms in the ‘Pharmaceutical Form’ field in all 4 forms. We have released a fix that has partially solved the issue; however, we are aware that there are still many combined pharmaceutical forms that are currently unavailable in the eAFs. Please note that as this issue affects the webservices to the form, not the form itself, also previous versions of the form are affected. We are working on a further fix to solve this issue as soon as possible.
For any issues with the eAFs, please raise a call via the EMA service desk.

eAF v1.24.0.0 important note to users
An updated version of the variation eAF v1.24.0.0 is now available on the eAF website. This release which does not change the form version number, provides a fix to the Adobe backwards compatibility issue and it should solve the issues some users have experienced with the scope selection dropdown list in section 3. This version also includes a change in the form validation rules for grouping of Type IA or Type IAIN variations.
Please ensure that upon opening the eAF you ‘trust’ the form by clicking the small exclamation mark at the top of the left-hand adobe pane and then selecting the trust option from the yellow banner which will open across the top of the forms. The drop-down menu’s will not work if the form has not been trusted.
The Presentations for applicants and NCAs on the release v1.24.0.0 have been updated and are available here.
For any issues with the eAFs, for example reporting missing scopes, please raise a call via the EMA service desk. |

Issue with eSubmission Gateway and its infrastructure
For the last few days, the EMA Gateway and surrounding infrastructure experienced an unplanned outage.
This has resulted in delays in acknowledgment communication as well as internal delays in submissions distribution.
The service is now available but we request you do not resubmit packages as the process of sending acknowledgments is experiencing delays.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
