Who holds the registration in Israel
In Israel the AMAR registration with the Ministry of Health is held by an Israeli registration holder, normally the importer or a local representative. The holder, not the manufacturer, controls the file.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
