• Saudi Arabia: SFDA reliance route uses approvals from recognised authorities (EEA, FDA, Health Canada, TGA, PMDA, MHRA) to shorten MDMA review; an SFDA licensed authorised representative holds it. Who holds registrations there: the list. Sources: SFDA MDS-G030, regulatory reliance route for MDMA.
• United Arab Emirates: MOHAP registration filed by a licensed local agent; CE and FDA approvals accepted as the basis. Sources: US Commercial Service country guide.
