E-drug: parallel import in South Africa
---------------------------------------

An interesting paper has been presented to the South African Parliamentary
Committee on Health re the legality of parallel imports. The paper, written
by James Love, Director of the Consumer project on Technology in
Washington, is available from:

and type in message:

GET http://www.cptech.org/pharm/sa/sa-10-97.html
end

And you will get a 30KB file delivered into your email box.

At the same hearing, papers were also presented by the Pharmaceutical
Industry and USA government opposing parallel import. We would welcome if
those also became available on the net.
