    Language of the case: Polish

    Referring court

    Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w Warszawie

    Parties to the main proceedings

    Applicant: Delfarma sp. z o.o.

    Defendant: Prezes Urzędu Rejestracji Produktów Leczniczych, Wyrobów Medycznych i Produktów Biobójczych

    Operative part of the judgment

    Articles 34 and 36 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding the legislation of a Member State, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which requires, for the issue of a parallel import licence for a medicinal product, that that medicinal product and the medicinal product which has been granted a marketing authorisation in that Member State are both reference medicinal products or both generic medicinal products and which, therefore, prohibits the issue of any parallel import licence for a medicinal product where it is a generic medicinal product whereas the medicinal product previously authorised in that Member State is a reference medicinal product.


    (1)  OJ C 294, 20.8.2018.
