Parallel Trade

Event Date
-

This event provides a unique opportunity for industry experts to come together and share perspectives on the practice of parallel trade. Parallel trade is a type of commerce in which wholesalers can buy medicinal products in one member state of the European Union, where prices are low, and sell the same products in another member state, where prices are higher. This form of arbitrage has been declared legal by the European Court of Justice.

This meeting will be more important than similar meetings in the past because it will address the characteristics of the post-Brexit market in pharmaceuticals. It will examine how Britain's departure from the EU single market will affect the prices of drugs and the possibility of supply chain shortages.
