Although we do not heat about fake medicine from the third countries in Lithuania and we buy more expensive drugs than most people in the European Union, our customs will have to become a barrier so that counterfeit medicine would not get into the EU.
Customs warehouses, import and export terminals, free warehouses where imported medicines are stored will have to acquire the wholesale drug distribution licenses. Not only distributors or pharmacies will have to check whether drugs are not counterfeit but also hospitals and clinics issuing medications.
