"Mr President, according to estimates, about 1% of the overall volume of medicines supplied to patients legally through the pharmacy network in the EU today are fake. That percentage is constantly rising. This is about people’s health. Fake medicines may have effects other than those of the tablets prescribed by the doctor. They may also be a risk to health. Counterfeiting is a crime and must carry specific penalties. The new legislation, which I support, introduces more safety elements, as well as penalties for counterfeiters. It defines a monitoring system improving the identification of medicines, so that in future the flow of medicines can be traced all the way from the producer to the consumer. The sale of medicines via the Internet is also included within the framework of the new rules. This represents one of the most common ways for fake products to get onto EU markets."@en1
