Omschrijving

This book deals with parallel trade of pharmaceuticals from a Law & Economics perspective. Traditionally, restrictions to parallel trade were regarded negatively because they ran against the rules of the EU internal market. However, in recent judgments (Bayer, Glaxo and Syfait), EU Courts questioned some of the legal principles underpinning the EU policy on parallel trade in the field of pharmaceuticals. This revirement suggested that there might be scope for improvement of such policy. However, how and to what extent this change should be performed remained partially unclear. Through the analysis of the impact that parallel trade of pharmaceuticals has on consumer welfare, both in a static and in a dynamic sense, this work examines whether the current legal approach to parallel trade of pharmaceuticals reflects the findings of economic theory, whether it should change, and, if so, on what basis this adjustment should take place. The analysis does not only provide a policy assessment, but also wishes to offer some insights on one of the issues debated within the process of modernization of EU competition law: how judges should integrate economic reasoning in the antitrust assessment of corporate practices. This book is particularly useful both for practitioners and legal scholars who want to deepen their understanding of the EU pharmaceutical market and of the most recent EU judicial developments in that field, as well as of their implications for EU competition law in a 'modernized' context.


'[..] very high academic research'
in Bulletin Quotidien Europe, 15 June 2011

'[...] a thorough, well-researched, and well-executed treatment [that] is worthwhile reading - both for those interested in competition law enforcement in pharmaceuticals, as well as those interested in any sector where dynamic considerations play a major role in defining the parameters of competition. [...] Desogus' rigorous and comprehensive approach is impressive and refreshing; it constitutes a valuable step forward by offering a skillful analysis of the relevant issues and a sophisticated analytical framework for examining dynamic efficiencies.'
Lauren Battaglia in 2011 CML Rev. 1374

' The book provides an important insight into the pharmaceutical industry and its complex structure, which causes concern among competition lawyers and advocates of the protection of innovation. [...] the book bestows the reader with a good and well-guided insight into the pharmaceutical industry and its complexities as well as an interesting assessment of innovation in relation to competition law and parallel trade. [...]Desogus has managed to explain and assess this in a simple, but non-patronising language that allows non-economists (i.e. read: figures-shy lawyers) to understand and follow her line of arguments without complications.'
Hedvig Schmidt in (2012) 37 E.L. Rev.358
