Pharma Industry for Ban on Indian Medicine Imports.

While Islamabad, after its decision of awarding most favoured nation (MFN) status to India, is trying to finalise the negative list, Pakistani pharmaceutical companies have expedited their efforts to convince the government for banning imports of finished medicines from India.

A delegation of Pakistan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (PPMA) has already met the Commerce Minister Amin Fahim in Islamabad last week, Asad said, adding that the latter had assured the government will protect the industry while finalising the negative list.

The commerce ministry is likely to finalise the negative list by February next year, he added.
