13、thorisations are granted in accordance with common EU rules intended to ensure the quality,safety,and efficacy of medicines.Member States are responsible for controlling the prices and reimbursement of medicines in view of promoting the health of their citizens and the financial sustainability of th
14、eir social security systems.Therefore,pricing and reimbursement rules in Europe fall under the responsibility of the Member States.The pharmaceutical market in each Member State is highly regulated.The most common types of policies to set the prices of generic medicines are:External reference pricin
15、g:An approach where the price of a medicine is set according to the benchmark prices for the same or similar type of medicine in comparable countries previously defined in the policy.Usually,policymakers adjust prices over time depending on the changes 1available in the countries used as reference a
16、nd use different formulas to calculate this price.Set%below originator price:Type of policy where the price of a medicine should be below a previously determined specific percentage,having as a starting point the price of the originator medicine.(e.g.,Companies should set the price 30%below the pric
17、e of the originator medicine).Reference groups:When applied,prices are set according to the prices of a previously determined group of medicines(e.g.,average price of medicines with the same type of active substance-ATC-5).Maximum price:Policy where generic medicines cannot be higher than a predefin
18、ed maximum price.Negotiation:When this policy is applied,the price of a generic medicine is negotiated between the company and the payers.Current pricing policies,aimed at constantly lowering medicine prices,result in market concentration,and consequently medicines shortages and health inequalities.
19、External reference pricing is not a proper tool to ensure competitive pricing in the off patent market Highly resilient and future-proof strategies should be promoted to counteract rising inflation and address market challengesRESOURCES:Medicines for Europe paper new pricing modelsMedicines for Euro

106、facility-based)scope.The procurer can be a national or regional authority or health insurance fund or an individual hospital procurer(on behalf of an individual or a group of hospitals).The shows that procurers are focused primarily on cost-minimisation,through price-only,European Commissions study
107、single-winner tenders.This encourages bidders to offer the lowest-price possible and provides no reward for security of supply measures or environmentally sound manufacturing.This leads to overreliance on a single manufacturer to supply the market and increases the risk of serious shortages.This ris
