I'm translating an article from a well-known online encyclopaedia explaining probiotics (the client is a PR firm).
In order to explain the following:
"La levure "Saccharomyces boulardii" a également été largement étudiée en tant que probiotique. Elle dispose d'une AMM de médicament.",
I want to say "... it has market authorisation granted by the AFSSAPS".
However, I'm unable to find the official English title for the AFSSAPS on its website - does anyone know it? Or should I simply say "the AFSSAPS, France's safety regulator for health products"? (http://www2.fluoridealert.org/Alert/France/France-Bans-Use-o...
Or "French Health Products Safety Agency"?
Or "French regulatory agency for medical devices"?
Thanks for your suggestions.

: Should the French abbreviation be written all in caps, as per English rules? i.e. AFSSAPS and not Afssaps?

French Medicines Agency
Just another suggestion that seems to me to be more "generic" - the French title emphasizes safety but of course they assess efficacy too
