The European Union (EU) is expanding to include new members and with its expansion the opportunities for generic pharmaceuticals are growing too. With Bulgaria and Romania intending to join the EU in 2007, now is a verygood time for you to look at opportunities for your company in the EU.

Competitor companies from India, China and several other East European countries are already moving into the European marketplace. Others are sure to follow soon.

It is therefore important for companies interested in this market to act now in order to gain market share.

Western Europe is a challenging market despite the new legislation designed to increase harmonisation between markets. Many differences still exist between countries due to their history and pharmaceuticalenvironments. These can be very difficult to understand for companies coming from outside the EU and a reliable guide is necessary

There is a solution - take the initiative now and look at establishing yourself in Europe either through a subsidiary or finding a distributor for your products. But where should new market entrants start?
