Abstract

[fre] La régulation de l'industrie pharmaceutique vise 3 objectifs : répondre aux préoccupations de santé publique, contenir les dépenses collectives de médicaments et assurer la compétitivité de l'industrie nationale. Le premier objectif concerne l'évaluation du rapport bénéfice/risque des médicaments tout au long de leur cycle de vie, le développement d'une information sur les médicaments indépendante des producteurs, ainsi que l'accessibilité aux nouveaux traitements. L'objectif budgétaire donne lieu à un système de contrôle des prix complexe, qui n'empêche pas une croissance soutenue des dépenses pharmaceutiques de l'assurance maladie ; la redéfinition depuis 1999 du panier de médicaments remboursables s'avère difficile à mettre en oeuvre, en raison de considérations industrielles. Enfin, les pouvoirs publics s'interrogent sur les moyens à employer pour rendre le territoire attractif pour les investisseurs étrangers et pour stimuler le développement de l'industrie nationale. . Classification JEL : I11, I18, L5, L65, O3 [eng] Pharmaceutical industry regulation . Pharmaceutical industry regulation pursues three goals : respond to public health concerns, limit collective drug expenditures, and ensure competitiveness of national industry. The first goal issues are dealing with the assessment of the benefits/risks ratio of medicines all along their life cycle, the development of industry-independant information on drugs, as well as access to new treatments. In France, cost-containment policy consists essentially in a complex price regulation, which does not really impede expenditure increases. The re-definition of the benefit basket, initiated in 1999, has met a strong opposition from the Industry. Public authorities are now wondering how to make France more attractive for foreign investors and how to stimulate the development of the national industry. .
