Vor ein paar Tagen erklärte Bar de Wever, dass die wirtschaftlichen Maßnahmen der USA gegen Europa die Pharmaindustrie nicht beeinflussen werden:
Nach Angaben des Premierministers, Die Auswirkungen der neuen Einfuhrzölle auf unser Land werden sehr groß sein. Bis 2024 waren die Vereinigten Staaten der Hauptsexportmarkt für unser Land. „Wir haben rund 33 Milliarden Euro in die USA exportiert, 5 Prozent unseres Bruttoinlandsprodukts.“ Er bemerkte, dass der Pharmasektor nicht betroffen ist, was wichtig ist, da dieser Sektor für unser Land wichtig ist. Pfizer befindet sich in Puurs-Sint-Amands, wo Koen van den Heuvel Bürgermeister ist. "Könnte, Sie können Ihr Viagra immer noch exportieren"Bart de Wever scherzte.
Aber in einem anderen Artikel von VRT, Voka sagt, dass Pharma tatsächlich von Tarifen betroffen ist …
Insgesamt exportieren flämische Unternehmen rund 26 Milliarden Euro in die USA. Für Sektoren wie Chemikalien, Pharmazeutika, Maschinenbau und Transportgeräte sind die USA ein wichtiger Markt.
‚Dies ist ein Vorschlaghammerblas. Bei diesen 26 Milliarden Euro werden nun eine Abgabe von 20 Prozent, die 5,5 Milliarden Euro sind. Dies wird wirklich die flämischen und belgischen Volkswirtschaften beschädigen “, sagt Hans Maertens von der Organisation der flämischen Arbeitgeber, Voka.
Werden die belgische Pharma vom US -Tarif betroffen oder nicht?

nobody is really affected but the US consumers. they pay the tariffs.
he reduced their taxes, now the money should come from somewhere else.
Voorlopig niet, maar Trumpy heeft al aangekondigd dat die nog komen.
Maybe now my in Beligum produced ADHD meds will finally be in stock more often…
For now, they don’t, but the big orange has already stated that he will do separate tariffs for pharmaceuticals. That said, it takes years to build and certify pharma grade plants, and since they don’t produce most of the pharmaceuticals themselves, they really have no choice but to pay the higher price for a lot of products…

An easy solution, add a 10% export tax. They still need the goods, make them pay and suffer even more
As if they won’t buy medication anymore because they upped the price to themselves by 20 percent lol. I agree with the PM on this, pharmaceutical products have production and supply lines that can’t easily be moved, and unlike a car, clothes, electronics or most other products, is not something you can just decide not to import anymore or find local alternatives for.
So yes, tariffs on our pharmaceutical exports to the US… Fully paid for by the US taxpayer, who needs the meds regardless of the price.
Never listen to what De Wever tells you. It’s always the opposite of what this man tells you. Every time!
Trump should put 80% tariff on IT and software companies selling goods and services in the US but based in Europe , these pesky EU based companies selling their services in poor USA, companies like Amazon, Apple, Pornhub etc etc
Nah, they will make American health care only 200€ more expensive. What’s that in the grand scheme of things? Like less then 1% or so.
My illegal THC cannabis remains the same price and works well vaporized or eaten !
Met vriendelijke groentjes 😘
Oud illegal fentanyl is affected.
If you would listen to VODKA even the sunnier days have a negative impact. They take everything as an argument for new subsidies , tax breaks, hollowing out employees rights, lower wages, ….
For Pfizer Puurs, the exports to the US amount to 10-15% of their production. Which isn’t nothing, but it’s not the majority.
Short term there won’t be a huge impact felt at the Puurs site. Why? Their products are largely injectables, and it’s not like their are 50 other companies who are offering warehouses full of replacement medicine. The industry takes time to ramp up production.
If the site already produces a medicine, and needs to up it’s production, it could do so in a year (with huge effort).
But starting a new line of medicines in a pharmaceutical production site?
It takes years, unless you’re in a highly exceptional situation such as during covid.
Long term, the US production sites can take over what domestic supply the US needs ofcourse
On a slightly related note, the fact that GSK complied with Trump’s bullying concerning DEI immediately is pretty concerning
No which is why JnJ who produce a lot in the EU was up 2,5% yesterday
I thought pharmaceuticals were exempt of tariffs but there’s just no clarity on other stuff like otc medicines or stuff that has generic options. Speciality pharmaceuticals won’t get tariffs
