Administrative Liability for Offenses Related to Medicinal Products’ Electronic Retail Trade

Abstract

The scientific research is focused on the specific features of administrative liability for offenses committed during the electronic retail trade of medicinal products. Ukrainian and European legislative acts regulating the circulation of medicinal products have been studied. The works of researchers who determined the specifics of administrative liability for offenses in the field of pharmaceutical activity have been also studied.

It is argued that administrative liability for offenses committed during the electronic retail trade of medicinal products can be defined as the application of organizational or financial restrictions by competent authorities in relation to legal entities and individuals for violation of pharmaceutical legislation, which encroach on the established proceedings of public pharmacy management. The authors have provided characteristics of certain types of administrative offenses that can be committed during the electronic retail trade of medicinal products. The authors have determined the powers of the authorities to bring pharmaceutical employees who have committed administrative offenses during the electronic retail trade of medicinal products to administrative liability.
