In his opening remarks, Mr. Greg Perry, EGA Director General reiterated that generics provide “Headroom for Competition”
- Sustainablity of pharmaceutical healthcare requires sustainability of a strong competitive and financially healthy EU generic industry.
- The EU off-patent market must be based on the principle of “headroom for competition”.
- Ensure that no regulatory, patent or market hurdles exist to the immediate entry of generic medicines on patent expiry
- Introduce mechanisms to stimulate competition from generic medicines
- Create a price & reimbursement system for long term competition, not short term savings
