The risk of falsified medicines entering the distribution chain is increasing worldwide. The European Union therefore set out a number of measures to prevent falsified medicinal products from entering the legal supply chain (DIRECTIVE 2011\/62\/EU). The DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016\/161 describes the additional technical details for the further design of safety features.<\/p>

From 9 February 2019, only prescription medicines with the new safety features may be marketed. For this purpose, a European verification system (EMVS) was developed to check whether a medicine packaging has the correct safety features.<\/p>

As the health and safety of patients is of greatest importance to the pharmaceutical industry, a comprehensive strategy at European level is needed.<\/p>

This is why the European Medicines Verification Organisation (EMVO) was created as a joint initiative of EU stakeholders representing manufacturers (Medicines for Europe, EFPIA, EAEPC), wholesalers (GIRP) and community pharmacists (PGEU). In addition, almost every European country also has a national organisation. For Belgium, this is the Belgian Medicines Verification Organisation (BeMVO vzw)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In line with 28 other European countries, Belgium started implementing the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) on 9 February 2019.<\/p>

This European Directive provides additional security for all (prescription and reimbursable) medicine packagings to ensure their\u00a0authenticity<\/strong>,\u00a0safety<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
