Global | Publication | April 2020
On April 8, 2020, the European Commission published a communication setting out a temporary framework for analyzing agreements entered into between competitors whose purpose is to address the urgent needs arising from the health crisis (the Temporary Framework).
You will find below a summary of the main points of this Temporary Framework, which are also analyzed in light of the principles resulting from:
- the communication published on the same day laying down guidelines pertaining to the optimal and rational supply of medicines in order to avoid shortages during the COVID-19 outbreak (Supply Guidelines),
