Parallel Trade: Life after the ECJ Ruling in the GSK Spain Case

Howrey partners Maarten Meulenbelt (MA) and Helmut Brokelmann (MA) wrote the article “Parallel Trade: Life after the ECJ Ruling in the GSK Spain Case,” which explores the practical implications of this long-awaited ruling.

“The European Court of Justice handed down its long-awaited judgment in the Spanish ‘dual pricing’ case regarding GSK’s Spanish policy of charging different prices for medicines, depending on whether they were sold in Spain or parallel traded to higher-priced countries such as the UK. The judgment rejects the appeals brought against the 2006 Court of First Instance judgment.”
