Almost two months of retail pharmacy live under the new rules. Some of them make it easy provision of pharmaceutical institutions. For example, the minimum area schools, according to the GOS (government building regulations) shall be 79 square meters. m, and the license terms allow you to organize trade drugs for 50 square meters. Permissible floor space for storage of medicines was reduced to 10 square meters. m. Despite the improvement, pharmaceutical institutions, as before, it is difficult to select facilities for business activities. By the way, failure to comply with room size is one of the most frequent comments regulatory authorities. One of the important changes introduced by the new license terms - an extension of the list conditions under which the institution pharmacy may be denied a license. So, according to p.2.5.20, the fact of presence in the pharmacy of one or more prescription drugs, or documentary evidence of shipment (delivery) of prescription drugs in pharmacy leading to cancellation of license of an economic entity . It is curious that in the new order of control in the definition of "inability to fulfill the license conditions" point of presence or to document delivery of prescription drugs to the point of sale is missing. Substantial innovation: if the company was not in writing (letter recommended) or in person against receipt to the head or an authorized Pharmacies person notified no later than 10 days to conduct routine inspection, this fact is a ground for refusing an inspection Goslekinspektsiey Ministry of Health of Ukraine. And it does not bear the negative consequences for the licensee. 22.11.2010 entered into force new licensing conditions for economic activities drug manufacture, wholesale, retail drugs, approved by Order № 340 Goslekinspektsii Ministry of Health of Ukraine, as well as a new procedure for monitoring compliance with licensing conditions, approved by Order № 339 Goslekinspektsii Ukrainian Ministry of Health, told the former CEO of one of the capital of pharmacy chains, new license terms certainly played into the hands of bureaucrats, and if previously for a license to start work had to pay $ 200-300, now the size of bribes has grown to $ 500-600. The situation is similar to the inspections: regulatory authorities are now turning a blind eye to any discrepancies over twice that amount. According to the former manager, these license terms are a major obstacle to the opening of small shops - stalls and items. For them, such an informal license price is too high. Thus, we can assume that the new licensing rules will accelerate the further consolidation of retail pharmacies . In 2010, the share of traditional pharmacies (this category includes farmmarkety) increased from 50 to 52%. At the same time, smaller formats with every day are losing competitiveness. According to the FIG, "Business Credit", for the year 2010 in Ukraine the number of points engaged in retail sale of drugs was reduced by 840 units. Approximately 5% (240 points) became smaller kiosks and 17,5% (600 points) - drugstore items. As a general rule, retail kiosks and points - are small in size outlets (10-30 square meters. m), located in busy places and implement a limited range of drugs (several hundred titles). "After the entry into force of the new Licensing Conditions for pharmacy kiosks will gradually die out, - said Yuri Chertkov, director of the Agency's medical marketing. - They can not comply with the conditions, even at the lowest retail space. Now it stalls format was the most disadvantageous to their respective owners. However, kiosks and points, in contrast to the pharmacies, independent legal entities are not. "license issued to a pharmacy, and the above-mentioned units are opened as structural branches ", - says Irina Derevianko, marketing director of IFG" Business Credit ". So now, pharmacy chains, which included a lot of stalls have been active in their quantitative optimization. An independent outlets is either enter into structure of the larger players, or cease to exist.
