European legislation passed in 2011 and aimed at stemming the flow of falsified medicines reaching the open market within the European Economic area, the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD 2011/62/EU) will, within a few years, completely change the landscape of the European pharmaceutical business model. The scope of the Directive places new obligations on all branches of the industry - manufacturers, generics producers, contract packers, re-packers and importers - amongst which is the unique identification of products at unit of sale level.
