18.3
18.3 Health professionals and other relevant decision makers attending company organised scientific meetings and conferences, promotional meetings and the like may be provided with inexpensive notebooks, pens and pencils for use at those meetings. They must not bear the name of any medicine or any information about medicines but may bear the name of the company providing them. If pens and pads are provided in conference bags at third party organised meetings then these must not include the names of the donor companies, the name of any medicine or any information about medicines.
Supplementary information to Clause 18.3 applies. Notebooks, pens and pencils are the only items that can be provided to health professionals and other relevant decision makers for them to use and then only at bona fide meetings. Such items can only bear the name of the donor company but not the name of any medicine or information about medicines. They may not bear the company name when given in conference bags at third party meetings.
