RESOLUTION RESOLUTION ON COOPERATION BETWEEN THE BALTIC STATES REGARDING REGISTRATION OF MEDICINES The Baltic States purchase, manufacture and register a large number of various medicines and spend a lot of time and resources for their checking and registration. According to the obligatory list of medicines approved in conformity with the recommendations of the WHO, the Baltic Assembly recommends that the Baltic Council of Ministers:

1. Examine the relevant institutions registering medicines whose aim is to protect the population from the use of ineffective and unsafe medicines with a view to making these institutions more effective. The registration of medicines in Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania should be recognized in all three Baltic States and should become valid upon the payment of the appropriate registration fee.
2. Examine the possibility of establishing common principles of compensation for prices of medicines in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
3. Examine the possibility of using the uniform European Pharmacopoeia in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
