Abstract

The present work is aimed to answer a very interesting and sensitive legal issue in the Romanian pharmaceutical field. This issues regard mainly the existence of coordination or contradiction between Romanian (i.e. Romanian Pharmacy Law no. 266/2008¹) and European legislation (art 34 TFEU²) in respect of the delivery of the online sale of OTC medicine only from pharmaceutical units.
