"Madam President, for two years, we have been discussing the alarming growth in counterfeit medicines on our market, including lifesaving medicines. The result is a good directive which tightens up controls both on distributors and retailers, introducing mandatory protective measures and checks against infringement. Producers will also assess risks in respect of processing aids, all of which has been happening for years in the Czech Republic, for example. It is therefore excellent that this will apply throughout the EU. There is also a need for the system not to be restricted just to prescription medicines. If we wish to avoid losing our fight against counterfeits, Member States must achieve a greater level of integration in the area of health, unite in banning websites offering counterfeits and introduce inspections at third country producers, as is the case already with imported foods. After all, in China alone, there are 500 factories for counterfeit medicines. We simply have to step on the gas if we want to enhance safety on the European market."@en1
