Euro-Lebanese cooperation to export pharmaceuticals to Europe
6-7-2017
The industry minister Hussein Haj Hassan and the European Commission ambassador to Lebanon Christina Lassen sketched this week a road map to facilitate recognition, registration and export of made-in-Lebanon pharmaceuticals to Europe markets. Following a joint visit to pharmaceutical manufacturers, Benta Group (in Dbayeh) and Algorithm (Zuk Mkhail), both parties agreed to prepare the registration forms for interested plants and the types of medicinal drugs they manufacture, to be submitted to the European delegation visiting the country next September. The delegation is expected to evaluate the requests in line with required specifications before indexing them under European pharmaceutical lists. The European Commission Embassy in Lebanon will accordingly report to the ministries of public health and industry and push the process in the right direction, while noting that this agreed mechanism covers the 11 pharmaceutical manufacturing plants in the country. Haj Hassan disclosed after the tour that the European delegation was briefed on the expansion and advanced features of the pharmaceuticals sector in Lebanon which, he stressed, qualifies it to enter Europe. He pledged to go far in order to increase Lebanese exports to Europe in various productive sectors, including pharmaceuticals. (Al Diyar, Al Mustaqbal, July 5, 2017)
