WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3635/95 by Graham MATHER to the Commission. Articles in Spanish and Portuguese Treaties of Accession on pharmaceuticals  


Official Journal C 185 , 25/06/1996 P. 0034 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3635/95 by Graham Mather (PPE) to the Commission (12 January 1996)Subject: Articles in Spanish and Portuguese Treaties of Accession on pharmaceuticalsArticle 47 of the Spanish Treaty of Accession and Article 209 of the Portuguese Treaty of Accession were transitional measures taken in regard to pharmaceutical imports. The articles prevented importers outside of Spain and Portugal from marketing lower-cost pharmaceuticals from these two countries. The two measures expired this year.Following the expiry of the transitional provisions contained in Article 47 and Article 209, there arose a few matters of concern. Can the Commission answer the following questions.1. Is the Commission aware that supplies of certain products of multinational pharmaceutical companies are now becoming more difficult to obtain in Spain or Portugal?2. Does the Commission believe that these products are being deliberately withheld or kept in limited supply?3. Does the Commission propose to take action against any attempt to manipulate, distort and control individual national markets in order to block the operation of the single European market in the pharmaceutical sector?Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (21 March 1996)1. By decision of 20 December 1995, the Commission rejected the requests of Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Austria and the United Kingdom for an extension of the transitional measures in Article 47 of the Spanish Treaty of Accession and 209 of the Portuguese Treaty of Accession. These requests were based on Article 379 of the Accession treaties.Following this rejection, the Commission has received information from certain parallel importers of pharmaceuticals, who allege that, although parallel trade should be possible since the expiry of the transitional measures, they are experiencing difficulties in obtaining supplies of certain products in Spain and Portugal for export to other Member States.2. The Commission is checking whether or not these difficulties of supply are the result of restrictive practices which are prohibited by Articles 85 and 86 of the EC Treaty.3. To the extent that there is sufficient evidence to justify intervention, the Commission will, by virtue of the EC Treaty, take the appropriate action in order to eliminate unjustified obstacles to the free movement of pharmaceutical products.
