The parliament green-lit the amendments to the pharmacy act that would lift the ban on vertical integration of pharmacies and drug wholesalers under a certain condition, as 55 MPs voted in favour of the changes.
Since the bill was vetoed by the upper chamber of parliament, the proposal needed at least 46 votes of support to get the go-ahead. The bill had been proposed by the coalition Modern Centre Party (SMC), but was then considerably amended.
