Extract

The intensity with which the United States and the European Community (EC) are reviewing their trade difficulties with Japan makes examination of the Japanese pharmaceutical regulatory environment particularly appropriate at this time. One of the four topics identified for focused discussion between the U.S. and Japanese governments in last year's Market Oriented Sector Selective (MOSS) talks was pharmaceuticals, a $13 billion industry (at 1985 exchange rates), in which Japan is the world's second largest market for pharmaceuticals.
