Drug scandals, Drug Agency clashes with Competition Authority, suspicions of favoring companies

Drug scandals, Drug Agency clashes with Competition Authority, suspicions of

The scandal with the quality of medicines in the country is deepening. The newspaper "SOT" has published several reports where it was confirmed that the drugs circulating in our market have not been analyzed for more than two years and the responsible institutions have been totally negligent towards this issue. But in addition to the fact that drugs are marketed in poor quality and in many cases expired, pharmacies in the country abuse their prices. For all these issues, the Competition Authority launched last year a preliminary investigation into the market of drugs and medical devices. But in the investigations that the Competition is conducting, it has encountered a series of gaps and obstacles from the National Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices, which has not provided the necessary information on the marketing and control of drugs. For this reason, with a recent decision CA has requested ultimatums to the Drug Agency to submit any required information on the drug market in recent years. "Following the investigation procedure, it was found that the lack of information required by the National Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices, makes it impossible to determine market structures and analyze the import of drugs. For these reasons, the Commission decided: In the decision "On opening a preliminary investigation in the market of drugs and medical devices", its point 3 should be changed: "Preliminary investigation report must be submitted to the Competition Commission no later than 6 months from receipt of this decision ", it is said in the decision. "Following the investigation procedure, it was found that the lack of information required by the National Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices, makes it impossible to determine market structures and analyze the import of drugs. For these reasons, the Commission decided: In the decision "On the opening of the preliminary investigation in the market of drugs and medical devices", its point 3 should be changed: "The preliminary investigation report must be submitted to the Competition Commission no later than 6 months from receipt of this decision ", it is said in the decision.

Violations found

In this published decision, the Competition Authority reports that preliminary investigations have found a number of violations in the drug market, ranging from a lack of analysis to a lack of control over their distribution and the price at which they are traded. Meanwhile, we remind that CA is not the only controlling institution that has found problems in the drug market in the country, KLSH was the first to report the trade of expired drugs. What is noticed is that, for both institutions, the Drug Agency has tried to block the investigations, but both auditors have discovered major violations such as: trading at higher prices than real, uncontrolled medicines and medical devices that are distributed only in some favored pharmacies. Therefore CA has decided to continue the investigation to see how far the drug scandal goes. "The Competition Commission considers that the full implementation of the preliminary investigation procedures in order to analyze the behavior of companies in the market of drugs and medical devices, to see whether or not there are signs of restriction of competition, if there is a lack of control is necessary for to ensure an objective decision-making ”, decided CA. According to the Commission, in these conditions there is an urgent need to request evidence and data from any entity licensed for the import and wholesale sale of medicines and medical devices.
