51However, where a veterinary medicinal product covered by an MA granted in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2001/82 in one Member State is imported into another Member State and that import constitutes a parallel import by reference to a veterinary medicinal product already covered by an MA in the Member State of import, the provisions of that directive on the procedure for the grant of an MA do not apply. The authorisation system for parallel imports must nevertheless be examined in the light of the provisions of the FEU Treaty on the free movement of goods (see, by analogy with pharmaceutical products, judgment of 12 November 1996, Smith & Nephew and Primecrown, C‑201/94, EU:C:1996:432, paragraph 21, and as regards plant protection products, judgment of 8 November 2007, Escalier and Bonnarel, C‑260/06 and C‑261/06, EU:C:2007:659, paragraph 28).
