Le système juridique reconnaît tout à la fois la différence et l'égalité des sexes, sans donner aucune définition du sexe. Élément d’identification de la personne, le sexe est mentionné dans l'acte de naissance en considération de l'apparence des organes génitaux externes. Il est pourtant impossible de ramener le sexe à un seul élément anatomique. Le sexe est en effet une donnée biologique complexe, reposant sur plusieurs composantes. Certaines composantes sont objectives : outre le sexe anatomique(ou morphologique) existent un sexe chromosomique(le sexe génétique : XX chez les femmes, XY chez les hommes) et un sexe hormonal. 2, record 2, French, - sexe%20anatomique

The marketing authorization must set out, inter alia, the name of the product, the pharmaceutical dosage form, the quantitative formula (including excipients) per unit dose (using INNs [international nonproprietary names] or national generic names where they exist), the shelf-life and storage conditions, and packaging characteristics. It specifies the information on which authorization is based (e.g. "The product(s) must conform with all the details provided in the application and as modified in subsequent correspondence"). It also contains the product information approved for health professionals and the public, the sales category, the name and address of the holder of the authorization, and the period of validity of the authorization. Once a product has been given marketing authorization, it is included on a list of authorized products - the register - and is often said to be "registered" or to "have registration". Market authorization may occasionally also be referred to as a licence or product licence. 1, record 8, English, - marketing%20authorization
