Ethics Commission

The Code of Ethics for Pharmaceutical Marketing, which governs the marketing of medicinal products and their relations with healthcare professionals, as well as relations between the pharmaceutical industry and patient organisations, is supervised by the Pharmaceutical Marketing Ethics Commission

The Commission ensures that complaints received from both the pharmaceutical industry and non-members are treated in the same way, irrespective of the complainants.

The Ethics Commission is elected for two years and consists of seven members, including the Chair of the Commission. The Commission is chaired by someone who does not belong to the pharmaceutical sector and is approved by consensus between the IPIA and the PMA. The IPIA and the PMA delegate three members to the Commission.

The Commission’s main functions and responsibilities are: organise the work of the Commission, supervise compliance with the Code, examine, evaluate and decide on reports of breaches of the Code.
