Following EU action, Vietnam ends discriminatory treatment against pharmaceutical products from EU Member States
|
|
The EU welcomes the removal by Vietnam of discrimination against a number of EU Member States' regulatory authorities for pharmaceutical products.
This positive result for EU industry and Vietnamese citizens shows the value of having a free trade agreement with Vietnam. It is the result of months of continuous efforts by the European Commission and constructive engagement with the Vietnamese authorities.
Pharmaceuticals from all EU member states will now see simpler and faster registration procedures and easier participation in government procurement. This will allow better market access for EU pharmaceutical products to Vietnam, greatly benefitting Vietnamese consumers in terms of access to medicines. EU pharmaceutical exports to Vietnam are worth EUR 1.5 billion a year, contributing to EU jobs and economic resilience. The EU calls on Vietnam to also ensure a more transparent and predictable system of marketing authorisations without delay.

The role of open trade in an increasingly uncertain world
|
|
European civil society will have the opportunity to discuss with Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis and Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela the EU’s overall trade policy priorities. While 'Open strategic autonomy' as adopted in 2021 remains the overall framework for EU trade policy going forward, the geopolitical context and economic outlook have in the meantime become increasingly uncertain. The Executive-Vice President and Minister Síkela will share their views on how an open rules-based trade agenda remains as important as ever, to manage interdependence in line with the EU’s interests and values. Registered participants can attend in person or online. Participants from organisations based outside Prague who wish to participate in person can ask for their return travel expenses to be covered. Registrations close on 26 October 2022, 13:00 CEST
