The European Commission recently announced that the customs authorities of the 27 Member States have concentrated efforts over a two-month period under the coordinated "MEDI-FAKE" action, to stop millions of illegal medicines from entering the European Union. On the basis of a risk profile disseminated by the Commission, more than 34 million fake antibiotics, anti-cancer, anti-malaria and anti-cholesterol medicines, as well as painkillers, were successfully seized.
In addition to the intrinsic value for the effectiveness of customs controls, the coordination and co-operation between authorities and the legitimate expectations from legal business, the action is fundamental for protecting European citizens from security and safety threats.
The MEDI-FAKE action also highlighted areas of improvement for future actions in the fight against imports of illegal, dangerous or counterfeit goods, such as increasing cooperation with the interested industries
