Armenian pharmaceutical companies have one month to get prepared for
checking and get certificates for exporting their medicine to the
European market.
Samvel Zakaryan, chairman of the Armenia's Medicine Producing and
Importing Union, told the reporters today that a state agency has
been established to deal with the issue.
"The certificate is to register that the producer has prepared the
medicine in compliance with all the existing norms. The companies
were given 2-3 months to eliminate all the flaws," he said.
"Three companies - Arpimed, Liquor and Pharmatech - are close to
getting the certificates," Zakaryan said, adding that a number of
companies are not ready for getting the certificates as of the moment.
The reasons why the companies are not ready for certificates vary.
"For instance filters are being used for production of medicine which
are less effective than the European ones. Standards are changing
everyday and it is difficult to understand what should be done to
correspond to the standards," he said.
Zakaryan said companies without certificates are very often being
deprived of opportunity to enter international market.
