Case C-114/15, AUDACE – audacious French farmers buy Spanish veterinary medicinal products
French farmers have been nipping over the Spanish border to go shopping for their veterinary medicinal products.
This is not allowed under French law, only French-authorised wholesalers can import veterinary drugs. The French farmers wonder if the internal market exists.

the Pau (France) Court of Appeal asked the European Cour of Justice in Luxembourg :
1. Does national legislation comply with Articles 34 to 36 TFEU in so far as it reserves access to parallel imports of veterinary medicinal products exclusively to wholesale distributors in possession of the authorisation provided for under Article 65 of Directive 2001/82/EC […], thus excluding those with retail distribution rights and livestock farmers?
2. On a proper construction of Article 65 of Directive 2001/82/EC and Article 16 of Directive 2006/123/EC […] (the ‘services’ Directive), is a Member State entitled not to recognise authorisations for the wholesale distribution of veterinary medicinal products that are issued by the competent authorities of other Member States to their own nationals and to require that those nationals additionally hold wholesale distribution authorisations issued by its own competent authorities in order to be entitled to apply for and to use authorisations for the parallel importation of veterinary medicinal products within that Member State?
3. Does national legislation comply with Articles 34, 36 and 56 TFEU and Article 16 of Directive 2006/123 in so far as it assimilates parallel importers of veterinary medicinal products to holders of an operating licence which is not required under Directive 2001/82/EC, as amended, establishing a Community Code for veterinary medicinal products, and which consequently requires such importers to have available to them an establishment in the territory of the Member State concerned and to have successfully completed all the pharmacovigilance operations provided for under Articles 72 to 79 of Directive 2001/82/EC?

A NEW REGULATION IN THE MAKING FOR VETERINARY MEDICINE

AUDACE - Two Web pages to see the ground we have covered over the past decade :
The 'EU Law Radar' finds the timing of the French farmers’ reference most propitious for it coincides with a reference from the German Supreme Court about the internal market in medicines for humans. The German court queries whether the German system of pricing medicines is akin to an import restriction. See further, Case C-148/15, Deutsche Parkinson Vereinigung – bonuses for buying Dutch mail order medicines.
Well, at least France and Germany, the two member States reportedly leading the EU, have both a case to answer ...
Rule, Wallonia - over EU-Canada trade
deal CETA
Le gouvernement Wallon s'est battu pour cela.
« Les tribunaux privés ne verront pas le jour et c'est une cour publique qui arbitrera les litiges. Nos PME seront protégées et les multinationales devront se conformer aux nouvelles rčgles ». Un nouveau standard pour négocier de futurs traités!
The Walloon government is setting new standards for future treaty negotiations
Wallonia has been nervous about exposing its agricultural sector to competition from Canadian farmers. Furthermore, it had raised objections to a proposed court system for settling disputes between foreign investors and governments. "Private courts will not see the day and it is a public court which will arbitrate disputes. Our SMEs will be protected and multinationals will have to comply with new rules."
There are few political moments where a decision commits so much to our future.

Don't leave us this way. Help us make this EU a worthwhile democracy! And meet the Challenges of 21st Century Globalisation. HSE-CRD the British Competent Authorities' official line in the aftermath of the Brexit referendum: The UK Government is considering its response to the referendum vote. HSE will continue as normal in the operation of the regulatory processes for all chemicals regimes. Further details of the Government response will emerge in due course. There are no immediate consequences for how we work and regulate. |
