«At the end of the last year, the international industry stated publicly its readiness to work on the requirements and procedures of the unified market of medicines in the EAEU, taking ambitious obligations to apply the first applications for registration in the beginning of 2018. This promise is confirmed by the specific legally significant actions, which gives grounds to state that the launch of the unified market has already taken place de facto. There is a need of practical discussion of registration dossier formation regarding the common rules, the choice of the reference country, the specifics of the application and the other aspects in the mode of professional dialogue between the representatives of regulators and expert organizations of the EAEU countries, and the business community. At the same time, issues of national regulation and enforcement, such as changes in the system of government procurement of medicines, the need to develop a set of activities to prevent the threats of manufacturing and sales of counterfeit medicines, mid-term results of the pilot marking project, and others, are also required with the comprehensive assessment. It seems like the discussion platform of the scientific and practical conference, organized by the leading associations of the pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as the format of live dialogue, will enhance a comprehensive analysis of the current agenda by the interested participants of the pharmaceutical market», — Vladimir Shipkov, an Executive Director of the Association of International Pharmaceutical Manufacturers (AIPM), said.
