E-drug: European Parliament soundly rejects DTCA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear E-druggers,

Yesterday in Strasbourg the European Parliament overwhelmingly rejected the
Commission's proposal to relax the ban on advertising prescription-only
medicines to the public. HAI Europe believes that the Parliament has clearly
signalled the priority of public health over industry interest with this
vote.

Below and attached you will find HAI's press release on this
important event published today.
