2005 Condamné par la Commission Européenne pour pratiques anticoncurrentielles. Le laboratoire a détourné des procédures administratives dans le but de protéger les ventes de son anti-ulcéreux vedette, le Losec (vendu en France sous le nom de Mopral),. A trompé plusieurs offices de brevets nationaux sur la date à laquelle il a reçu sa première autorisation de mise sur le marché, ce qui lui a permis d'obtenir une protection complémentaire dans certains pays. A détourné les règles et procédures appliquées par les agences nationales des médicaments, qui délivrent les autorisations de mise sur le marché. Il a en effet remplacé la présentation d'origine du Losec, en capsules, par des comprimés, en demandant à des agences nationales d'annuler les autorisations de mise sur le marché des premières. Ce qui a pu empêcher des importateurs d'obtenir des licences d'importation, faute d'autorisation de référence. Amende de 60 millions d'euros.     Les Echos
