click. Now wants a part of the Union prohibit online pharmacies.
They are called Sanicare, Doc Morris or Curavendi and have saved some
sick way. Who does not want to pick up his pills at the pharmacy, it
can be delivered to - via the Internet. But the North
Rhine-Westphalian Minister for Social Affairs, Karl-Josef Laumann
(CDU) wants to block this way and prohibit mail-order again.
That says a bill to the Bundesrat, which is present in the Süddeutsche
Zeitung. After that "prescription drugs only in pharmacies and in the
future no longer be delivered by mail order" should.
Laumann keeps Internet pharmacies are unsafe. More drugs are
counterfeit, and since the reform of the former red-green government
is the people "more than before the risks of illegal vendors and
offers delivered," he writes.
This sentiment is even the Federal Criminal Police, which represents,
in a study by the pill buy Web in question. But if the mail order
business has actually spread more fake agents is controversial; lack
of reliable figures.
Only every fiftieth German buys drugs with the mouse, the market share
of the industry is four percent. Moreover, Internet pharmacies are
controlled as sharp as traditional pharmacies. The risk of receiving a
counterfeit product is, according to experts such as Harald Schweim of
the University of Bonn approved Internet pharmacies similarly low as
in traditional pharmacies.
FDP advocates freedom of choice
With its foray Laumann will probably protect all industries. "This is
an attempt by five years, the clocks turn back and pharmacists to
secure revenue," criticizes the Saarland's Minister of Health Joseph
Hedges (CDU).
Here, he sees excesses of the shipping trade, as the practice of
drugstore chain dm: Their customers can be ordered pills can collect
and send in a store. This will have to do anything with the original
purpose, but why proceed hedges against this practice, but not
reversed, the whole reform.
Receive encouragement from the Dusseldorf Munich attack. "We must
strengthen the presence pharmacy, so I have a preference for the idea
Laumann," said the Bavarian Minister of Social Affairs Christa Stewens
(CSU). But so far, Laumann has not introduced the request, because the
co-governing in North Rhine-Westphalia FDP blocks.
This is paradoxical insofar as the Liberals were ahead of the
parliamentary arm of the pharmacist. But now some people think, as the
health expert Daniel Bahr, different: The FDP stand up for freedom of
choice and fair competition, mail order pharmacies would complement
the established sense. "This offer should not we take away the
citizens, but only fight the abuse," says Bahr.
