"Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur and the shadows for the work they have done on this important issue. It is absolutely vital that we work to create greater transparency of the measures regulating the price of the medical products. It is also very important that we do this now, as the directive in effect is completely outdated.
The conditions present in the pharmaceutical markets are vastly different to the ones which existed when the previous directives were put in place. More medical products are now available thanks to medical advances and generic medicines. They are now more readily available to the consumer and they are cheaper.
Furthermore, the directive in force, which dates from the 1980s, must be replaced. Otherwise it will be increasingly challenging for the Member States to implement it. We have adopted an excellent measure today; the time limits laid down by the previous directive are not feasible in the modern day. So it is a good day’s work."@en1
