New EU Pharmaceutical Regulations Impact Cypriot Industry

The new regulatory framework of the European Union for pharmaceuticals is considered a political choice to support the pharmaceutical industry, which is now treated as a strategic sector for the economy, innovation, and supply security. The EU seeks to protect company investments, reduce regulatory risk, and create more stable growth conditions, while also imposing obligations to limit environmental impact. Cyprus, with two large pharmaceutical companies that are a significant pillar of its exports, is directly affected by the new framework. The stability of the European framework is crucial for the investment planning of these companies.
