Conclusie AG: Vergunningsvrije productie van wierookcapsules door apothekers

Conclusie AG 30 juni 2016, LS&R 1340; ECLI:EU:C:2016:492; C‑276/15 (Hecht-Pharma tegen Hohenzollern Apotheke)
Geneesmiddel. Voedingssupplement. Prejudicieelgestelde vragen over Duits-nationale regel voor vergunningsvrije, door apothekers geproduceerde wierookcapsules als geneesmiddel [LS&R 1136]. De richtlijn verzet zich niet tegen een nationale wet die geen marktautorisatie vereist voor medicinale producten die door apothekers in beperkte oplage worden geproduceerd. Conclusie AG:

(1)      Article 2(1) of [Directive 2001/83/EC], does not preclude a national law such as Article 21(2), point 1, of the Arzneimittelgesetz (Law on medicinal products), according to which no marketing authorisation is required for medicinal products that are intended for administration to humans and, on account of the proven frequency with which they are the subject of medical and dental prescriptions, the essential manufacturing steps for such products are carried out in a pharmacy as part of the normal pharmacy business producing up to one hundred packages per day ready for dispensation and intended for supply under the existing pharmacy operating licence.

(2)      Should the Court not follow the interpretation proposed under the previous point and consider the requirements of Article 2(1) of Directive 2001/83 to be fulfilled, then Article 3, point 2, of Directive 2001/83 does not preclude a national law such as Article 21(2), point 1, of the Arzneimittelgesetz (Law on medicinal products), according to which no marketing authorisation is required for medicinal products that are intended for administration to humans and, on account of the proven frequency with which they are the subject of medical and dental prescriptions, the essential manufacturing steps for such products are carried out in a pharmacy as part of the normal pharmacy business producing up to one hundred packages per day ready for dispensation and intended for supply under the existing pharmacy operating licence, provided that the prescriptions of a pharmacopoeia are complied with.
