Parallel export is an intermediary informal activity focusing on the export of medicines to another Member State of the European Union, since this is more profitable than selling medicines at the internal market. In this way, the trade is informal, but are not illegal, as one of the four fundamental freedoms of the European Union is the free movement of goods. Medicines are imported in another Member State of the European Union without permission of the medication manufacturer or official reseller. At the same time the exporters reduce the prices of exported drugs, thereby affecting the prices of other medicines and market situation. Parallel exports as well as imports focus on intellectual property rights. Producers working to supply their domestic market are forced to worry that the production will be parallel exported and there will be the lack of medicines at the internal market.
