The Future of Parallel Trade: EU Falsified Medicine Directive, Legal Issues, Parallel Distribution, Anti-Counterfeiting, Regional Focus
SMi Group Reports: With Brexit and the new EU Falsified Medicine Directive, what does the future hold for parallel trade? Over 90 senior leaders in parallel trade will meet in London in February 2017 to discuss upcoming trends and share best practices.
London, United Kingdom, December 02, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Falsified Medicines Directive introduces tough directives to improve the protection of public health with new pan-European measures to ensure that medicines are safe and that the trade in medicines is strictly controlled.
Falsified medicines (the term "falsified" is used to distinguish the issue from IP violations, so-called "counterfeits") are a major threat to public health and safety. As falsifications become more sophisticated, the risk that falsified medicines reach patients in the EU increases every year. Falsified medicines represent a serious threat to global health and call for a comprehensive strategy both at European and international level. (Source: European Commission)*

Dr. Greville will discuss what progress has been made since February 2016, what the market participants need to know about "product information templates," what are the regulatory requirements for nationally authorised products and much more.
