    The company manufactures a product containing morphine in the 
United States. The company exports this product to customers around the 
world. The company has been asked to ensure that its product, which is 
sold to European customers, meets the standards established by the 
European Pharmacopeia, administered by the Directorate for the quality 
of Medicines (EDQM). In order to ensure that its product will meet 
European specifications, the company seeks to import morphine supplied 
by EDQM for use as reference standards. No other activity for these 
drug codes is authorized for this registration.
    Approval of permit applications will occur only when the 
registrant's business activity is consistent with what is authorized 
under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2). Authorization will not extend to the import 
of Food and Drug Administration-approved or non-approved finished 
dosage forms for commercial sale.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
