Council Directive 92/26/EEC of 31 March 1992 concerning the classification for the supply of medicinal products for human use

Official Journal L 113 , 30/04/1992 P. 0005 - 0007 Finnish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 22 P. 0032  Swedish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 22 P. 0032

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 92/26/EEC of 31 March 1992 concerning the classification for the supply of medicinal products for human useTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 100a thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1) ,  In cooperation with the European Parliament(2) ,  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3) ,  Whereas measures aimed at progressively establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992 need to be taken; whereas the internal market is to comprise an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods,  persons, services and capital is ensured;  Whereas the conditions for the supply of medicinal products for human use to the public vary appreciably from one Member State to another; whereas medicinal products sold without prescriptions in certain Member States can be obtained only on medical  prescription in other Member States;  Whereas Directive 91/28/EEC(4)  specifies what medicinal products may be advertized to the public; whereas, in view of the development of means of communication, the conditions governing the supply of medicinal products to the public should be  harmonized.  Whereas, moreover, persons moving around within the Community have the right to carry a reasonable quantity of medicinal products lawfully obtained for their personal use; whereas it must also be possible for a person established in one Member State to  receive from another Member State a reasonable quantity of medicinal products intended for his personal use; whereas it is important therefore to harmonize the conditions governing the supply of medicinal products to the public;  Whereas, in addition, under the new system of registration of medicinal products in the Community, certain medicinal products will be the subject of a Community marketing authorization; whereas, in this context, the classification for the supply of  medicinal products covered by a Community marketing authorization needs to be established; whereas it is therefore important to set the criteria on the basis of which Community decisions will be taken;  Whereas it is therefore appropriate, as an initial step, to harmonize the basic principles applicable to the classification for the supply of medicinal products in the Community or in the Member State concerned, while taking as a starting point the  principles already established on this subject by the Council of Europe as well as the work of harmonization completed within the framework of the United Nations, concerning narcotic and psychotropic substances;  Whereas this Directive is without prejudice to the national social security arrangements for reimbursement or payment for medicinal products on prescription,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  1.  This Directive concerns the classification for the supply of medicinal products for human use in the Community into:  - medicinal products subject to medical prescription,  - medicinal products not subject to medical prescription.  2.  For the purposes of this Directive, the definition of 'medicinal product' in Article 1 of Council Directive 65/65/EEC of 26 January 1965 on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to medicinal  products(5)  as last amended by Directive 89/343/EEC(6) , shall apply. In addition, 'medicinal prescription' shall mean any prescription issued by a professional person qualified to prescribe medicinal products.  Article 2  1.  When a marketing authorization is granted, the competent authorities shall specify the classification of the medicinal product into:  - a medicinal product subject to medical prescription,  - a medicinal product not subject to medical prescription.  To this end, the criteria laid down in Article 3 (1) shall apply.  2.  The competent authorities may fix sub-categories for medicinal products which are available on medical prescription only. In that case, they shall refer to the following classification:  (a) medicinal products on renewable or non-renewable medical prescription;  (b) medicinal products subject to special medical prescription;  (c) medicinal products on restricted medical prescription, reserved for use in certain specialized areas.  Article 3  1.  Medicinal products shall be subject to medical prescription where they:  - are likely to present a danger either directly or indirectly, even when used correctly, if utilized without medical supervision, or - are frequently and to a very wide extent used incorrectly, and as a result are likely to present a direct or indirect danger to human health, or - contain substances or preparations thereof the activity and/or side effects of which require further investigation, or - are normally prescribed by a doctor to be administered parenterally.  2.  Where Member States provide for the sub-category of medicinal products subject to special medical prescription, they shall take account of the following factors:  - the medicinal product contains, in a non-exempt quantity, a substance classified as a narcotic or a psychotropic substance within the meaning of the international conventions in force (United Nations Conventions of 1961 and 1971), or - the medicinal product is likely, if incorrectly used, to present a substantial risk of medicinal abuse, to lead to addiction or be misused for illegal purposes, or - the medicinal product contains a substance which, by reason of its novelty or properties, could be considered as belonging to that group as a precautionary measure.  3.  Where Member States provide for the sub-category of medicinal products subject to restricted prescription, they shall take account of the following factors:  - the medicinal product, because of its pharmaceutical characteristics or novelty or in the interests of public health, is reserved for treatments which can only be followed in a hospital environment,  - the medicinal product is used in the treatment of conditions which must be diagnosed in a hospital environment or in institutions with adequate diagnostic facilities, although administration and follow-up may be carried out elsewhere, or - the medicinal product is intended for outpatients but its use may produce very serious side-effects requiring a prescription drawn up as required by a specialist and special supervision throughout the treatment.  4.  A competent authority may waive application of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 having regard to:  (a) the maximum single dose, the maximum daily dose, the strength, the pharmaceutical form, certain types of packaging; and/or (b) other circumstances of use which it has specified.  5.  If a competent authority does not designate medicinal products into sub-categories referred to in Article 2 (2), it shall nevertheless take into account the criteria referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article in determining whether any  medicinal product shall be classified as a prescription-only medicine.  Article 4  Medicinal products not subject to prescription shall be those which do not meet the criteria listed in Article 3.  Article 5  1.  The competent authorities shall draw up a list of the medicinal products subject on their territory to medical prescription, specifying, if necessary, the category of classification. They shall update this list annually.  2.  On the occasion of the five-yearly renewal of the marketing authorization or when new facts are brought to their notice, the competent authorities shall examine and, as appropriate, amend the classification of a medicinal product, by applying the  criteria listed in Article 3.  Article 6  1.  Within two years of adoption of this Directive, the Member States shall communicate the list referred to in Article 5 (1) to the Commission and to the other Member States, when requested by the latter.  2.  Each year, Member States shall communicate to the Commission and to the other Member States the changes that have been made to the list referred to in paragraph 1.  3.  Within four years of the adoption of this Directive, the Commission shall submit a report to the Council on the application of this Directive. This report will be accompanied, if necessary, by appropriate proposals.  Article 7  Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 January 1993. They shall forthwith inform the Comission thereof.  When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member  States.  Article 8  This Directive is addressed to the Member States.  Done at Brussels, 31 March 1992.

Council Directive 93/89/EEC of 25 October 1993 on the application by Member States of taxes on certain vehicles used for the carriage of goods by road and tolls and charges for the use of certain infrastructures

Official Journal L 279 , 12/11/1993 P. 0032 - 0038 Finnish special edition: Chapter 7 Volume 5 P. 0037  Swedish special edition: Chapter 7 Volume 5 P. 0037

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/89/EEC of 25 October 1993 on the application by Member States of taxes on certain vehicles used for the carriage of goods by road and tolls and charges for the use of certain infrastructuresTHE COUNCIL OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 75 and 99 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas elimination of distortions of competition between transport undertakings in the Member States calls for both the harmonization of levy systems and the establishment of fair mechanisms for charging infrastructure costs to hauliers;  Whereas these objectives can be achieved only in stages;  Whereas a degree of harmonization of fuel excise duty has been achieved through adoption of Council Directives 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonization of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils (4) and 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on  the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils (5);  Whereas under present circumstances the adjustment of national levy systems should be confined to commercial vehicles of more than a certain gross laden weight;  Whereas for this purpose minimum rates should be set for the vehicle taxes currently applied by the Member States or any which might succeed them;  Whereas some Member States will have to raise substantially the level of vehicle tax currently applied; whereas, to enable adjustments to be made progressively, provision should be made for a transitional period during which those Member States may  apply reduced rates;  Whereas certain local domestic transport operations with little impact on the Community transport market are at present subject to reduced rates of vehicle tax; whereas, in order to ensure smooth transition, Member States should be authorized to lay  down temporary derogations from minimum rates;  Whereas Member States should be permitted to apply reduced rates or exemptions in the case of vehicles whose use is not liable to affect the Community transport market;  Whereas, in order to make allowance for certain special situations, a procedure should be laid down whereby Member States may be permitted to maintain further exemptions or reductions;  Whereas existing distortions of competition cannot be eliminated solely by harmonizing taxes or excise duties but whereas, until technically and economically more appropriate forms of levy are in place, such distortions may be attenuated by the  possibility of retaining or introducing tolls and of introducing motorway user charges and, under certain conditions, other road user charges;  Whereas tolls and user charges should not be discriminatory, entail excessive formalities or create obstacles at internal borders; whereas the rates of user charges should be based on the duration of the use made of the infrastructure in question;  Whereas, in order to ensure that user charges and tolls are applied homogeneously, certain rules for determining their manner of application should be laid down, such as characteristics of infrastructure to which such user charges and tolls are  applicable, the maximum rate of user charges and the general provisions to be complied with;  Whereas in this context two or more Member States may cooperate for the purpose of introducing a common system of user charges, subject to compliance with some additional conditions; whereas such a system may take account of the special geographical and  economic situation of hauliers of certain Member States, aggravated in some cases by political unrest in certain third countries;  Whereas a strict timetable should be set for reviewing the provisions of this Directive and considering adjustments to them, if necessary, for the purposes of a more technical levy system,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:   General provisions   Article 1  Member States shall, if necessary, adjust their systems of vehicle taxes and for tolls and user charges in accordance with the provisions of this Directive.  This Directive shall not affect vehicles carrying out transport operations exclusively in the non-European territories of the Member States.  It shall also not affect vehicles registered in the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, the Azores or Madeira and carrying out transport operations exclusively in those territories or between those territories and respectively, mainland Spain and  mainland Portugal.   Article 2  For the purpose of this Directive:  - 'motorway' means a road specially designed and built for motor traffic, which does not serve properties bordering on it, and which:  (i) is provided, except at special points or temporarily, with separate carriageways for the two directions of traffic, separated from each other either by a dividing strip not intended for traffic or, exceptionally, by other means;  (ii) does not cross at grade with any road, railway or tramway track, or footpath;  (iii) is specifically signed as a motorway,  - 'toll' means payment of a specified amount for a vehicle travelling the distance between two points on the infrastructure referred to in Article 7 (d); the amount shall be based on the distance travelled and on the category of the vehicle,  - 'user charges' means payment of a special amount conferring the right for a vehicle to use for a given period the infrastructures referred to in Article 7 (d),  - 'vehicle' means a motor vehicle or articulated vehicle combination intended exclusively for the carriage of goods by road and with a maximum permissible gross laden weight of not less than 12 tonnes.   Vehicle taxation   Article 3  1. The vehicle taxes referred to in Article 1 are as follows:  - Belgium: taxe de circulation sur les véhicules automobiles/verkeersbelasting op de autovoertuigen,  - Denmark: vaegtafgift af motorkoeretoejer m.v.,  - Federal Republic of Germany: Kraftfahrzeugsteuer,  - Greece: Teli kykloforias,  - Spain:  (a) impuesto sobre vehículos de tracción mecánica (b) impuesto sobre actividades económicas (solely as regards the amount of the levies charged for motor vehicles),  - France:  (a) taxe spéciale sur certains véhicules routiers (b) taxe différentielle sur les véhicules à moteur,  - Ireland: vehicle excise duty,  - Italy:  (a) tassa automobilistica (b) addizionale del 5 % sulla tassa di automobilistica,  - Luxembourg:  taxe sur les véhicules automoteurs,  - Netherlands:  motorrijtuigenbelasting,  - Portugal:  (a) imposto de camionagem (b) imposto de circulaçao,  - United Kingdom: vehicle excise duty.  2. Member States which replace any tax listed in paragraph 1 with another tax of the same kind shall notify the Commission, which shall make the necessary amendments.   Article 4  Procedures for levying and collecting the taxes referred to in Article 3 shall be determined by each Member State.   Article 5  As regards vehicles registered in the Member States, the taxes referred to in Article 3 shall be charged solely by the Member State of registration.   Article 6  1. Whatever the structure of the taxes referred to in Article 3, Member States shall set the rates so as to ensure that the tax rate for each vehicle category or subcategory referred to in the Annex is not lower than the minimum laid down in  that Annex.  2. Until 31 December 1997 France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain shall be authorized to apply rates that are lower than, but not less than 50 % of, the minima laid down in the Annex.  3. Member States may apply reduced rates or exemptions for - vehicles used for national or civil defence purposes, by fire and other emergency services, and by the police, and vehicles used for road-maintenance;  - vehicles which travel only occasionally on the public roads of the Member State of registration and are used by natural or legal persons whose main occupation is not the carriage of goods, provided that the transport operations carried out by these  vehicles do not cause distortions of competition and subject to the Commission's agreement.  4. Subject to the review mentioned in Article 12, Member States apply until 1 July 1998 special derogations for vehicles with a maximum of three axles engaged solely in national local transport.  Application of these derogations shall be evaluated on a regular basis by the Commission which shall report to the Council annually.  5. (a) The Council acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission may authorize a Member State to maintain further exemptions from or reductions in taxes on vehicles on the grounds of specific policies of a socio-economic nature or linked to that  State's infrastructure. Such exemptions or reductions may apply only to vehicles registered in that Member State which carry out transport operations exclusively inside a well-defined part of its territory.  (b) Any Member State wishing to maintain such an exemption or reduction shall inform the Commission thereof and shall also forward to it all necessary information. The Commission shall inform the other Member States of the proposed exemption or  reduction within one month.  The Council shall be deemed to have authorized maintenance of the proposed exemption or reduction if, within a period of two months from the date on which the other Member States were informed in accordance with the preceding subparagraph, neither the  Commission nor any Member State has requested that the matter be examined by the Council.  6. Without prejudice to paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of this Article and Article 6 of Council Directive 92/106/EEC of 7 December 1992 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined transport of goods between Member States (6), Member States  may not grant any exemption from, or reduction in, the taxes referred to in Article 3 which would render the chargeable tax lower than the minimum referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article.  7. The minimum rates referred to in paragraph 1 shall remain unchanged until 31 December 1997. Beyond that date, the Council, acting subject to the conditions laid down in the Treaty, shall adapt the minimum rates in question, where appropriate.   Tolls and user charges   Article 7  Member States may maintain or introduce tolls and/or introduce user charges in accordance with the following conditions:  (a) Tolls and user charges may not both be imposed at the same time for the use of a single road section. However, Member States may also impose tolls on networks where user charges are made, for the use of bridges, tunnels and mountain passes;  (b) Without prejudice to Article 8 (2) (e) and Article 9, tolls and user charges may not discriminate, directly or indirectly, on the grounds of the nationality of the haulier or of origin or destination of the vehicle;  (c) Tolls and user charges shall be applied and collected and their payment monitored in such a way as to cause as little hindrance as possible to the free flow of traffic and avoid any mandatory controls or checks at the Community's internal borders;  to this end, Member States shall cooperate to establish methods for hauliers to pay user charges, in particular outside the Member States in which they are applied;  (d) Tolls and user charges shall be imposed only on users of motorways or other multilane roads with characteristics similar to motorways, bridges, tunnels and mountain passes.  However, in a Member State where no general network of motorways or dual carriageways with similar characteristics exists, tolls and user charges may be imposed on users of the highest category of road in that State.  Following consultations with the Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Council Decision of 21 March 1962 instituting a procedure for prior examination and consultation in respect of certain laws, regulations and administrative  provisions concerning transport proposed in Member States (7), they may also be imposed on users of other sections of the primary road network particularly where there are safety reasons for doing so;  (e) A Member State may provide that vehicles registered in that State shall be subject to user charges for the use of the whole road network in its territory;  (f) User charges shall be set by the Member State concerned at an amount that is not higher than ECU 1 250 per year including administrative costs; within that maximum Member States shall be authorized to fix user charges in relation to the national  vehicle tax.  On 1 January 1997 and every second year thereafter this maximum shall be reviewed; the Council, acting subject to the conditions laid down in the Treaty, shall make the necessary adjustments as appropriate;  (g) User charge rates shall be in proportion to the duration of the use made of the infrastructure.  A Member State shall be authorized to apply only annual rates for vehicles registered in that State;  (h) Toll rates shall be related to the costs of constructing, operating and developing the infrastructure network concerned.   Article 8  1. Two or more Member States may cooperate in introducing a common system for user charges applicable to their territories as a whole. In that case, these Member States shall ensure that the Commission is closely involved therein and in the  system's subsequent operation and possible amendment.  2. Subject to Article 7, a common system shall be subject to the following conditions:  (a) the common annual user charge shall be set by the participating Member States at a level that is not higher than the rate mentioned in Article 7 (f);  (b) payment of the common user charge shall give access to the network as defined by each participating Member State in accordance with Article 7 (d);  (c) other Member States may join the common system;  (d) a scale shall be finalized by the participating Member States whereby each of them will receive a fair share of the revenues accruing from the user charge;  (e) participating Member States may, until 31 December 1997 at the latest, apply an appropriate reduction in the rates of user charges for vehicles registered in certain Member States where there are differences in economic development and which are  disadvantaged because of their particular geographical situation, aggravated in some cases by political unrest in certain third countries.   Article 9  Following consultations with the Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Council Decision of 21 March 1962, special arrangements for border areas may be made by the Member States concerned.   Final provisions   Article 10  This Directive shall not prevent the application by Member States of:  (a) specific taxes or charges:  - levied upon registration of the vehicle, or - imposed on vehicles or loads of abnormal weights or dimensions;  (b) parking fees and specific urban traffic charges;  (c) regulatory charges specifically designed to combat time and place-related traffic congestion.   Article 11  1. For the purposes of this Directive, the value of the ecu in national currencies shall be fixed once a year. The rates to be applied shall be those obtaining on the first working day of October and published in the Official Journal of the  European Communities and shall have effect from 1 January of the following calendar year.  2. Member States may maintain the amounts in force at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 1 if the conversion of the amounts expressed in ecus would result in a change of less than 5 % or ECU 5, whichever is the lower amount,  expressed in national currency.   Article 12  1. No later than 31 December 1997 the Commission shall present a report to the Council on implementation of this Directive, taking account of developments in technology and traffic congestion.  Member States shall forward the necessary information to the Commission no later than 1 June 1997 in order to enable the Commission to draw up the above report.  If necessary, that report shall be accompanied by proposals for establishing cost-charging arrangements based on the principle of territoriality, in which national borders will not play a predominant role.  2. Moreover, Member States introducing electronic toll and/or user-charge systems shall bear in mind the desirability of achieving inter-operability between those systems.   Article 13  1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 January 1995. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  When Member States adopt such provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.   2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.   Article 14  This Directive is addressed to the Member States.  Done at Luxembourg, 25 October 1993.  For the Council The President Ph.
