The Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Union has asked the European Parliament to state that medical specialists in the EU are entitled to make public information about potential risks to the health systems.

The reason is the fact that the Bulgarian prosecutor’s officehas brought charges against Prof. Asena Stoimenova, chair of the organization, over an expert opinion she expressed in an interview for the BNR. The pharmaceutical union states that Prof. Stoimenova’s position coincides with the position of the European Commission, the European Medicines Agency and other international organizations. The charges against Prof. Stoimenova are in connection with her warning of an approaching crisis in the supply of some medicines, which the prosecutor’s office says caused undue concern.
