For a manufacturing site located in a third country engaged in the manufacture of medicinal products (produced using WFI) which are exported to the European Union, it is the relevant competent authority responsible for GMP oversight in the Member State of the importer in the European Union. If affected products are exported directly to more than one Member State of the European Union, an one of the respective supervisory authorities should be notified. Notification to EU authorities is without prejudice to any similar obligation the manufacturer might have towards the relevant authorities of the country in which it is located.
