Konstantin Leonidov, Deputy Director General of "STANDARTINFORM", took part in the meeting of the Interdepartmental industry working group of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia to combat illicit trafficking in pharmaceutical and medical products on June 17, 2020.
The meeting was moderated by Sergey Tsyb, First Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
The purpose of the event is to discuss measures to strengthen control and supervision over the production of pharmacy and medical products and develop proposals for their implementation.
"One of the issues considered at the meeting of the working group was the introduction of requirements for enterprises producing specialized food, the introduction of GMP standards. The proposal on the need to consider the issue at the Expert Council of the State Commission was supported. Due to the fact that such a requirement may have a negative impact on SMEs, as today technical regulations of the EASC have already established the need to implement the principles of HACCP for them," - Konstantin Leonidov said.
The discussion was held by videoconference and took place in the framework of the provision implementation of Presidential Decree of January 23, 2015 № 31 "On additional measures to combat illicit trafficking in industrial products".
