Germany has been, from a business perspective, a very attractive market for innovative drugs and biotechnology. Until last year, the German Healthcare system used a free-market pricing system where pharmaceutical companies were able to set the prices for their drugs and sickness funds would reimburse drugs regardless of their price.

With the passing of the legislation entitled "Act on the reorganization of the pharmaceutical market in the public health insurance" (AMNOG), a reform is underway that is revolutionizing reimbursement for pharmaceuticals in Germany. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that are currently developing products will need to take into account a "fourth hurdle". On top of demonstrating quality, safety and efficacy, they will also have to demonstrate an additional clinical benefit over the standard therapy.

AMNOG legislation will definitely result in substantial changes in the biggest pharmaceutical market in Europe. Therefore, potential delays with the new requirements could mean severe losses for pharmaceutical companies looking to introduce new products. Moreover, Since August 2010, drug manufacturers have been burdened by compulsory rebates, which are already 1.2 billion euros. This is expected to increase to 2 billion euros per year.

AMNOG has raised several questions regarding new processes and guidelines that will have to be addressed and clarified.
