One of these, a progressive tax, also goes against the principle of predictability, she added.<\/p>\n
The sector\u02bcs annual growth exceeds the national average in the economy as a whole, Ill\u00e9s noted, with exports accounting for 79% of total revenue in 2016. The industry\u02bcs importance in foreign trade is highlighted by the fact that the foreign trade surplus per pharmaceutical employee came to HUF 26.6 million, almost triple the amount per vehicle industry employee, she added.<\/p>\n
Members of the association spent HUF 65 billion on research and development in 2016, or 17% of total R&D spending in the country, and more than the R&D expenditures of the entire manufacturing sector, Ill\u00e9s observed.<\/p>\n
Under a European Union directive, pharmaceutical serialization will require manufacturers to start establishing an individual identification system from February 2019, as well as to connect to the European system. Calculations show this could cost manufacturers about HUF 20 bln, said the association head.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1532501880505{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1532501964825{margin-top: -7px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1532501863979{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8338″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1576447529321{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
