Medicine and Medical Device Import, Export and Wholesale Control Directive No. 872/2022
The one legal instrument in this market's declared set: the EFDA Directive that controls who may import, export and wholesale medicines and medical devices in Ethiopia. It is signed October 22, 2021 by Heran Gerba, Director General, and registered as Directive No. 872/2014 in the Ethiopian calendar (872/2022 in the Gregorian style the file carries). Its own Article 44 states that it "shall enter into force on the date of 08 January, 2021" — a date EARLIER than its own signature month; the text is recorded as written and the discrepancy is not repaired. Article 42 repeals the Medicines and medical equipment importer and wholesalers, exporter control directive No. 10/2005 and Ministry of Justice directive No. 350/2013. It is a bilingual document: the Amharic and English texts are printed in parallel columns through the operative articles, and the annexes are English-only tables. The corpus therefore holds two extracts under this one id — `directive-872-2022-import-export-wholesale-am` (43 articles plus the preamble) and `directive-872-2022-import-export-wholesale-en` (42 articles, Annexes 1-3 and the preamble) — off one source file, one SHA-256 and one official code. Contract rule 6 is why both are recorded: an authority-hosted second language is valid provenance at its own language path and does not replace the controlling text. No publication date is stated by the document (the batch declaration records published = null); the JO-equivalent date is not invented here.
