The North Rhine Chamber of Pharmacists enforces administrative fines against DocMorris in the Netherlands

docmorrisNorth Rhine Chamber of Pharmacistsfines

Quick Look

  • The North Rhine Chamber of Pharmacists has collected part of the fines from the mail-order pharmacy operator DocMorris that have not been paid for years through a bailiff's seizure of Dutch accounts.
  • A court in Limburg confirmed the legality of the enforcement after DocMorris continued to advertise anti-competitive prices despite court bans.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Despite court bans, DocMorris had continued anti-competitive price advertising since 2020, whereupon the Stuttgart Regional Court imposed administrative fines. The payments failed to materialize, so the North Rhine Chamber of Pharmacists sought enforcement via Dutch accounts.

The federal government has paid out 100,000 e-car bonuses since May

The federal government has approved 100,000 applications for the e-car bonus since May, with half of the applicants having an annual household income of a maximum of 45,000 euros. The grant amounts to up to 6,000 euros and is intended to support low and middle income households and reduce dependence on oil imports. Great Britain is also considering tariffs on Chinese electric cars to protect its own market.
