A GLP memorandum of understanding (MOU) between an OECD-member country and the U.S. would permit:

• A. Acceptance of final reports and data conducted in either country under their applicable GLP regulations
• B. Acceptance of only U.S. GLP data
• C. Acceptance of only OECD GLP data
• D. No cross-acceptance of data

Answer: (A)

Cross-border recognition of GLP data is what this item is testing. An MOU between an OECD-member country and the U.S. is meant to foster mutual acceptance of GLP-compliant studies, so that final reports and data generated in either country under each nation’s GLP regulations can be used in regulatory submissions in the other country. This arrangement helps avoid duplicative testing and speeds up the regulatory process while preserving data quality and traceability—data produced in one country under its GLP rules is acceptable to the other country as long as it meets those GLP requirements. The other options imply restricting acceptance to data from only one side or forbidding cross-acceptance, which is not the intended outcome of such an MOU.
