EU-US deal on trade in pharmaceutical sector has be respected, EU says
A European Commission spokesperson said on Tuesday that the commitments related to the pharmaceutical industry included in the EU-US joint statement agreed upon in August must be respected. "The commitments undertaken in the EU-US Joint statement in August relating to trade in the pharmaceutical sector need to be respected and the US should therefore not impose any additional tariffs," the spokesperson said.
The comments followed a question on reports saying US officials will be travelling to Europe, specifically Germany, this month to discuss the setting of European drug prices.
