The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed the refusal to register a company whose corporate purpose included the trade of pharmaceutical products without proof of prior administrative authorisation (Art. 68 RDL 1/2015). The resolution emphasises that the trade of medicines is restricted to legally authorised pharmacies and hospital pharmacy services (Art. 3.6 RDL 1/2015). Furthermore, it notes the requirement to register in the Registry of manufacturers, importers or distributors for importation purposes (Art. 76 RDL 1/2015).
For entrepreneurs and companies intending to operate in the pharmaceutical sector, the resolution establishes that incorporation alone is insufficient; it is imperative to prove administrative authorisation and compliance with distribution and importation requirements to achieve registration (Arts. 68 and 76 RDL 1/2015). Companies attempting to register corporate purposes involving the trade of medicines without such proof will face negative assessments from the Mercantile Registry.
