"Mr President, the official figures say it all: 1% of the medicines sold legally in the European Union are falsified. What is more, the latest surveys show that the phenomenon is steadily growing and that its proportions have now exceeded the warning stage.
As Mr Antoniozzi has already emphasised, the falsification of life-saving medicines is particularly profitable when those medicines are produced in India or China and then passed off as European products. These substances pose an unprecedented risk, and they could threaten the lives of those who use them for therapeutic purposes.
I voted for the report to say No to cowboy sales via the Internet, the preferred channel for placing these poisons on to the European Union pharmaceutical market. With the adoption of this document, Parliament will finally be able to make its voice heard, acquiring the means necessary to find and punish these people who are no better than drug dealers, unscrupulous criminals who have been getting rich for too long at the expense of sick people."@en1
