Meeting two major demands from pharmaceutical industries
Saturday, 15 November 2008
THE government should immediately recognise the merit of accepting and working on at least two of the proposals that have been made by the pharmaceutical industries. Some such industries have demanded giving of cash incentives to export-oriented pharmaceutical units. These incentives are being given to other export-oriented sectors and there is no reason for the pharmaceutical industries with so much export possibilities not to enjoy the same.
One other major demand of the concerned industries is for the establishment of a government-operated central testing laboratory for export-oriented pharmaceutical units. The laboratory can be very useful in strengthening the reputation of local pharmaceutical products abroad through dependable quality certification.
Our foreign missions abroad should be directed to play a truly energetic role in searching markets and engaging in promotional activities for the pharmaceutical sector. The Patent Law of 1933 still remains though its suitable amendments are considered as necessary by exporters in the field to go for wider export activities.
