Information on Medicinal Products (Directive)

The Commission's Proposal aims to establish a harmonised legislative framework for the provision of information to the general public on medicinal products for human use subject to medical prescription. In particular, clear boundaries are to be set between information provided by pharmaceutical companies and prohibited advertising.

cepPolicyBrief

The Regulation manages to set clear boundaries between the authorised provision of information and prohibited advertising through pharmaceutical companies. The proposed monitoring measures are appropriate and reduce red tape.
