A new law to prevent fake medicines from entering the legal supply chain was approved by European Parliament. It is necessary to regulate internet sales of medicines because this is a key route by which fake ones enter the EU market.

The text approved is a results from an agreement reached with Council, which must also give its formal approval. Once it is signed into law, Member States have 18 months to make any necessary changes to their national legislation.

All the Member States except Italy and Spain have since indicated they will sign up to the procedure. These two countries can still join in at any time if they wish. The Council of Competitiveness Ministers is expected to formally adopt the decision authorising enhanced cooperation on 9-10 March. Member States have been trying to agree on an EU-wide Patent system for years but the necessary unanimity proved impossible to achieve. Language issues were a particular bone of contention. Currently, national patents can coexist alongside a European Patent (issued by the European Patent Office, a non-EU body) but the system is complex and expensive: a European Patent can be 10 times more expensive than a comparable US Patent.

Was published on Official Journal n. 192 dated August 18, 2010 the Legislative Decree n. 131/2010 in refer to  "Modifications on legislative decree February 10, 2005, n. 30 on Intellectual Property Code".
