Doesn the word “parallel” imply something outside proper control?
No. Parallel imports are perfectly legal and are a direct consequence of differences in prices between EU Member States and of the development of the Internal Market which guarantees the free movement of goods. However, certain conditions must be respected, namely those derived from the need to protect public health. The word “parallel” simply indicates that the import and marketing of a product takes place outside the distribution network of the manufacturer or his licensee.
