This report describes the achievements resulting from the implementation of projects set up under that cooperation agreement in period 2014-2020.

This report describes work carried out between 2015 and 2019 within the regulatory cooperation program of the DSA and the Federal Medical Biological Agency of Russia, with support of the Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center. The work is set into the context of the long-term regulatory cooperation program that began in 2001.
