Publication metadata
The main focus of attention in this study is on various ways in which Member States deal with the pricing and reimbursement of new pharmaceutical products and with regulation considering the timing of market entry for new medicines. The motivation of this focus is that differences between Member States are vast and cannot be solely explained by history, culture or preferences. Hence it is in this field that important gains for society are achievable. In this Volume I of the study particular emphasis is on the implications for economic welfare – for the efficient production and effective use of pharmaceuticals in our societies- of the regulation of pharmaceuticals in the EU. In this way the study builds upon the outcomes of the Pharmaceutical Sector Inquiry. This study also complements the (forthcoming) evaluation of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) with its focus on the process of marketing authorisation in the EU. Therefore, this study places particular emphasis on regulations governing the pricing and reimbursement of new pharmaceutical products and how these may be improved. In a separate Volume II the study describes the trends and developments in the EU pharmaceutical markets, the competitive position of the industry and the main prospects for its future development.
