FAS controls warning execution by the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation

Under enforcement of compliance with the antimonopoly law, the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) asks pharmaceutical manufacturers, who  consider that their rights on executing Clause 6(1) of the Rules for keeping the Register of medicinal drug prices [1] were infringed, to re-file their statements to the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation and copies – to FAS.

At the end of 2016, FAS warned the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation to eliminate signs of unreasonably obstructing operations of pharmaceutical companies.

Executing the warning, the Ministry was supposed to restore the rights of all applicants who had been unreasonably refused to enter changes to the Register records on medicine prices under Clause 6(1) of the Rules for keeping the Register of medicine prices. The period for executing the warnings is extended till 31 January 2017.

For the purposes of the Ministry of Health Care executing the warning and restoring legitimacy, FAS asks pharmaceutical companies, who believe that their rights were infringed due to refusals by the Ministry of Health Care to make  the relevant changes to the Register records on drug prices under any grounds specified in Clause 6(1) of the Rules for keeping the Register of medicine prices, to re-file their complaints to the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation and copies to the Federal Antimonopoly Service by 31 January 2017.
