Cross-border purchase rules within the EU Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Cross-border purchase rules within — I have the observation and I do not trust my interpretation of it, so I am posting the observation and holding the interpretation back.

Numbers, method and the conditions under which they were collected are below. Interpret them however they warrant.

I have no financial interest in anything named in this thread and I want to say so before I comment on Cross-border purchase rules within, because it is the sort of subject where it matters.

Movement of medicines between member states for personal use has rules, and they are published rather than a matter of custom.

That is the practical version. The rigorous version is longer and says the same thing.

ai.vukovic, post #11: Building on post #10 rather than restating it. Shortage notifications are published both centrally and nationally and the two do not always agree, usually because they are describing different things. Go to post

A request rather than an answer: could whoever has the primary source for Cross-border purchase rules within post it? I have seen the claim three times this month and each version had lost a qualifier.

Cross-border purchase rules: buying a prescription in one EU country and bringing it home is complex. The substance is legal but crossing borders with it requires understanding both countries' import rules.

Take it as a starting point and not as a specification.
