Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/02/2014 --BMI View: Germany's medicines pricing regime will continue to restrict drugmaker s' revenue streams. The AMNOG has proved to be tough, with the majority of medicine reimbursement prices lying under the average of or below the lowest of the European reference country basket. Additionally, legislators have voted to continue the 2010 implemented price freeze on reimbursed drugs until the end of 2017. However, the long term and clear nature of the measures implemented by the government is a much more structured medicine pricing regime than the numerous emergency measures implemented by south European governments - which are highly disruptive to drugmaker s' strate gies and revenue streams.
