Why are there requirements within the ABPI Code that go beyond UK law and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations/ International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations Codes?
The ABPI Code sets out rules and standards agreed by ABPI members as part of their commitment to self-regulation. The ABPI Code incorporates and goes beyond relevant UK Law. European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) and International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA) have an expectation that member trade associations will set further and/or more stringent requirements as applicable for their country to ensure self regulation meets external stakeholders expectations.
