Pharmaceuticals well behind schedule with registration

Out of the 1,000 pharmaceuticals that were supposed to register in accordance with EU norms, only 60 producers presented the required documentation. The registration office has warned that they might not make it in time. It seems as though pharmaceutical companies will have a problem with registration that would be in keeping with EU norms, according to which, declarations, including the documentation of the pharmaceuticals, should be filed and approved by a special office before formal EU accession. Otherwise, medication that does not comply with EU standards will have to be withdrawn from circulation. It is an open secret that many pharmaceuticals lack the required documentation, and this may spell trouble for producers in the sector. (Puls Biznesu, p. 3) A.C.
