Traditional Chinese medicine " foreign identity " European Union falls into the difficult position
Author: Wang wishes happy traditional Chinese medicine is crystallization with traditional medical science of thousands of years of Chinese nation, spreading into Europe has a history of several hundred years too. But by April 1, 2011, the sale in Europe of traditional Chinese medicine faces one severely to test: On March 31, 2004, European Union issued " registered procedure order of traditional medical herbs ". This order stipulates, all medical herbs sold on European Union market must be according to registration of this new regulation, could continue selling after getting the listing licence. Meanwhile, this order stipulates the transition period of 7, allow with various " identities " such as food The medical herbs products sold in country of European Union were sold until March 31, 2011. At present, traditional Chinese medicine of European Union market mostly circulate in the form of food, health product, plant medicine raw materials or agricultural and sideline local products. Transition period of 7 will finish soon, there is not a traditional Chinese medicine to succeed in registering in European Union in the capacity of traditional medical herbs at present. This means, during less than 4 months, traditional Chinese medicine must enter European Union market with the original medicines appearance. Otherwise, Chinese medicine of practising medicine in Europe will face having medicine not to have awkward condition of medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine shop may even go bankrupt, or transfer to " underground " Manage. European Union's new regulation is issued Meet traditional Chinese medicine two big " The obstacle " By April 1, 2011, sell in Europe traditional Chinese medicine but face one severely to test: " traditional medical herbs registered the procedure order " which European Union issued stipulated, all medical herbs sold on European Union market must be according to registration of this new regulation in 2004, could continue selling after getting the listing licence. Meanwhile, this order stipulates the transition period of 7, allow with various " identities " such as food The medical herbs products sold were sold until March 31, 2011. The obstacle 1: Have needed to employ the history to prove for 15 years European Union " whether traditional medical herbs register the intersection of procedure and order " stipulate traditional medical herbs " already medical history for one year at least before application date, among them is included in European Union and already used history for 15 years at least " . Prove the important basis of the above-mentioned traditional application history is the documents and materials published, expert's report and customs' imports and exports writing record,etc. are the documentary evidence. Some Chinese insiders criticize this regulation strongly, think it unfair and lacking legislative authority. According to insider, it is very difficult to offer traditional Chinese medicine to 15 years, use the identification of history on European Union market. It is reported, some does not include toxic crude drugs, classical Chinese medicine still employed extensively now, for instance six flavor digitalis pills, white phoenix pills of dark chicken,etc., had already entered European Union market as early as 1995 ago. However, even difficult to offer and have identification of using history on the markets of EU countries in 15 years together with the shop with a history of a century of such benevolence hall. Because before 2004, it was according to identities such as the food or health product,etc. that the customs that export traditional Chinese medicine to the EU countries recorded, but not register according to the identity of medicines. Moreover, much traditional Chinese medicine products were exported in unison through pharmaceuticalses of China in the past, there is no export record of single assortment Chinese medicine in a lot of Chinese enterprises. The obstacle 2: Registering costlily makes people step back traditional Chinese medicine lie in the great amount of expenses in the second outpost of the tax office where European Union registers, this lets a lot of Chinese enterprises hang back. It is reported, traditional Chinese medicine of an enterprise is if according to the regulation registration of " traditional medical herbs register the procedure order ", the registration charges probably needs 800,000 yuan, should authorize through European Union GMP, makes the investment when the hardware with production equipment it costs more than 4 million yuan, and the training, expert instruct,etc. the investment of software also needs to be about 4 million yuans. The statistical data reveal, by the end of 2008, traditional Chinese medicine has already been introduced to more than 160 countries or regions in the world. The official side estimates traditional Chinese medicine total export value reached 1,460 million dollars last year. Wang Guoqiang, Vice Minister of Chinese Health Ministry and chief of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine points out in July of this year, paces that Chinese traditional Chinese medicine enterprises move towards the international market are being accelerated, the traditional Chinese medicine export has already been up to 1,460 million dollars last year. However, on the American-European market, traditional Chinese medicine still fails to make the position of medicines. For a long time, sell traditional Chinese medicine on the American-European market in the form of food, health product and tonic. Expand and is kept traditional Chinese medicine in check overseas? At present, traditional Chinese medicine faces the strict supervisory system in the western countries, especially in " green trade barrier " (the measure imported in a series of restriction which importer makes on the grounds of protecting natural resources, ecological environment and human health) Come as a hard blow at under,blockade over 60% traditional Chinese medicine import. The insider thinks, the one that traditional Chinese medicine is kept abroad in check has influenced westerner's confidence to traditional Chinese medicine because of some Chinese medicine not up to standard. In addition about appropriate to take traditional Chinese medicine, lead to the fact unexpected report increase, tie down traditional Chinese medicine to overseas paces of market expansion too. From 2003 to 2004, successively patients sued Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 of Beijing (group) Limited company, mean its rough gentian of product clears away the liver-fire pill causes oneself serious kidney to damage, rejected by the court finally, still make the security of this medicines queried home and abroad. YanLing Fu, Professor of Beijing University of Trad. Chinese Medicine, think traditional Chinese medicine want to develop and approve further abroad, the western countries should understand the scientific principle of traditional Chinese medicine on one hand, on the other hand, it must accord with the modern medical requirement to supervise quality and security of traditional Chinese medicine strictly, could be approved extensively. The reporter is wired European Union's new regulation influences Export some Chinese medicinal materials It is reported ' Reporter Wang XiYi) To European Union " registered procedure order of traditional plant medicine " that will come into force next year, the reporter has interviewed an anonymous local personage of pharmacy industry. This insider says to the reporter, the order that European Union will come into force soon is directed primarily to plant medicine, and plant medicine is different from definition of traditional Chinese medicine in fact, traditional Chinese medicine is not all plant medicines. In addition, the looks, relatively to the overseas market, the domestic demand for traditional Chinese medicine is greater. So, the new regulation may influence the export of European Union of some Chinese medicinal materials to a certain extent, but on the whole influence is not big, the impact on overall development in the future of Chinese medicine is limited. Good trend Three enterprises are expected to realize " The break-through of zero " At present, some Chinese enterprise make great efforts actively still, try, succeed in registration product their in European Union before the end of will it be transition period 7 year. It is reported, ground energies health capsule in Chengdu of Sichuan has already supervised the examination of the department through Dutch medicine, the energies health capsule production line of ground has already been authorized through European Union GMP too, it is expected to become the first treatment Chinese medicine variety which enters the international market in China; Wide strange star medicine of medicine group obtains " Britain traditional products simple and easy to register with European Union medical herbs ' Britain) Medicine Taste GMP to authorize " Approve and initiate a project; Buddha in Lanzhou is kind " Ming mountain " The card concentrates Chinese angelica pill and obtains the consent of national medicines administration bureau of Sweden too and accepts formally, assess and already pass too in advance. But before March 31, 2011, which one on earth will take the lead in obtaining the legal identity in European Union formally in these 3 enterprises, make traditional Chinese medicine obtain the break-through of zero in European Union's legal sale, people will wait and see. (Zong He) Acupuncture and moxibustion is listed in a group of data that the cultural heritage World Health Organization of the United Nations count and reveals, nearly 4 billion people cure the disease with Chinese herbal medicine in the whole world at present, predict the sales amount of global traditional Chinese medicine will be up to 200 billion to 300 billion dollars in the future. Recent, the acupuncture and moxibustion of Chinese medicine has been approved by UNESCO, listed in the human non-material cultural heritage masterpiece register formally. News spread acupuncture and moxibustion circle and even whole the intersection of Chinese medicine and circle feel filled with exultation all without exception. In people's view, explain and offer as a gift to succeed in proving this treatment means has been approved by the world in acupuncture and moxibustion, help to further confirm medical science of acupuncture and moxibustion and even Chinese medicine pharmacy position and influence in the world. Winding history though California become U.S.A. to be first to acknowledge the legal state of acupuncture and moxibustion as far back as 1978, but traditional Chinese medicine in ashy area, up to 1994, the US Congress, through " the diet supplemented the healthy and educational bill of products " . Traditional Chinese medicine is in U.S.A.: Drift along in 30 and have the dawn finally in the past 30 years, Chinese medicine and some traditional Chinese medicine are approved by law and consumer in U.S.A., but this course is difficult and arduous. The beauty herbal President John and Scott says: "In the seventies of last century, traditional Chinese medicine did not have legal status in U.S.A.. Most western doctors antagonize such unconventional medical means of Chinese medicine very much too. " But by 1990, as Scott establishes beauty's herbal company with wife, while producing and propagating Chinese herbal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has already become more popular in the locality, especially in Chinatown of big cities such as San Francisco and New York,etc.. However, at that time, still there was not legal status in traditional Chinese medicine. Brooman's plucked instrument of mark of founder of American plant committee and executive president expresses, though California becomes U.S.A. firstly and admits the legal state of acupuncture and moxibustion as far back as 1978, but traditional Chinese medicine in ashy area, up to 1994, the US Congress, through " the diet supplemented the healthy and educational bill of products " . Scott says: " from 1994, traditional Chinese medicine was defined as one kind " The diet supplements products " ,Say you can't say that cure the disease with traditional Chinese medicine in law. " Meanwhile, acupuncture and moxibustion becomes more and more popular in U.S.A.. 44 states have already legalized acupuncture and moxibustion in the whole America at present, and only 4 states did it in this way 30 years ago. The insurance company stipulates it is another obstacle of hindering Chinese medicine from developing in U.S.A. too. They draw a clear line of demarcation with the traditional Chinese medicine treatment clearly to the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, settle a claim only to the former but not the latter. But recently, traditional Chinese medicine has been legalized this question and seems to display the dawn. Will it be July this year, traditional Chinese medicine compound root of red-rooted salvia drip pill, succeed in, pass the intersection of American and the intersection of Food and Drug Administration and the second stage of clinical trial, if can be successful through three clinical trials in 2013, would become the first kind in American listing traditional Chinese medicine of medicine in order to fill a prescription. Brooman says plucked instrument: "This will be meaning the U.S. government sanctions traditional Chinese medicine to use as the medicine, treat for the first time. " Industry personage think if compound root of red-rooted salvia drip pills and succeed, help traditional Chinese medicine win the western medical circle, approve further generally, will stimulate the investment in traditional Chinese medicine at the same time. The statistical data reveal, in U.S.A., a new medicine is from researching and developing, making to go on the market finally, need 800 million dollars to the investment of 1,300 million dollars. Reveal, in the past 50 years, only in two kinds domestic medicine got permission to be listed on U.S.A. according to Brooman's plucked instrument. One kind of them is Veregen ointment criticized in 2006, included China's green tea composition, used as treating genital wart. The overseas epitome has been up till now, the exit of Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 has mainly centred in the country in Southeast Asia. The area outside of Asia, the influence of the cultural barrier begins to appear, few western people can understand the complicated principle of traditional Chinese medicine. Westerners are elusive the principle American-European market limited Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 of Beijing with 300 histories of more than years of Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 of traditional Chinese medicine is nearly widely known in China, its course that marches abroad, a epitome that one may well say traditional Chinese medicine goes to the world. Will it be July this year, Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669, shortly before listing in Hong Kong, Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 Vice Chairman, the intersection of general manager and Mei Qun say: "The challenge that we face at present is to expand market share in America and Europe. " Up until now, Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 has already marched into 15 countries and regions, 38 overseas branches, the products are exported to more than 40 countries every year. In the first half of this year, the medicines total value of export of Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 is 17 million dollars, increase by 10.75% compared with the same period of last year. March into overseas market the intersection of Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 and consistent goal, up to 2000, Beijing Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 Sci-tech Development Co.,Ltd. broke away from the parent company, responsible for marching into the overseas market specially. In the past ten years, Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 cooperated closely with Li Jiacheng's Hutchison China Trade Holdings actively, hope to borrow the latter an extensive pharmacy network, popularize traditional Chinese medicine to the western countries. However, up till now, the export of Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 has mainly centred in the country in Southeast Asia. The area outside of Asia, the influence of the cultural barrier begins to appear, few western people can understand the complicated principle of traditional Chinese medicine. Take best fitting palace cow bezoar pill of sales volume of Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 as examples, include cow bezoar, pearl powder and musk,etc. in this medicine " strangely " Composition,it is getting more difficult very to be persuade it is American-European take by the medicine consumer. Sichuan famous the intersection of traditional Chinese medicine and the intersection of house and Liu think traditional Chinese medicine march into overseas market to be very difficult, because it is very difficult for foreigners to understand the Chinese medicine principle, explain these principles are " tasks that it is impossible to finish " through English . In addition, complicated modern medical quality and safety standard are another obstacle. "If you weigh traditional Chinese medicine with the western standard, will not receive the satisfactory result. " Liu Zheng says. In the course of growing, there are a lot of heavy metal compositions in a lot of Chinese medicinal materials. At present, Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 has already signed the cooperative agreement with Confucius institute, Confucius institute holds Chinese medicine course which uses teaching of English, as a part of China's cultural promotion. Referring to the development plan of future, Mei Qun reveals to the Chinese media, Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 plans to drive the overseas branch to 100. Mei Qun says, can refine the effective composition inside traditional Chinese medicine out with western technology, can make pills or tablets, make the patient not need to take the traditional traditional Chinese medicine soup again. Compared with the traditional Chinese medicine soup of suffering, pill and medicine accord with taking medicine to practise of westerners even more Spoil, it is more convenient to carry too. A Tongrentang Chinese Medicine-Since 1669 spokeswoman refusing to reveal the name claims: "If you measure traditional Chinese medicine with the western standard, mean coming into the blind alley. My impossible molecule that write down every composition of our medicine fills a prescription, but this does not mean our medicine is not good. " Ancient bronze mirror Japan Chinese square medicine manufacturing enterprise of the other countries regards improving quality as one of the important pillars of developing strategy of square medicine of Chinese, from raw materials? �� �� the intersection of house and extensive scandium, steps of barium, employ the intersection of latitude and the intersection of Chinese herbaceous peony and duckweed, smelt the intersection of border and enemy wake up detailed the intersection of Song and sodium divide into, enable Fei's rancour? Pay close attention to the fact, produce Chinese of quality Japan square medicine company emerge Chinese in Japanese traditional medical science of China on Japan develop. Square medicine of Chinese is a medicine employed under the guidance of its theory, in the course of its development, have already formed the system alone. Traditional Chinese medicine was introduced to Japan by North Korea in the 4th century. Reach send Tang, enable period, China's medical science can already be transmitted to Japan directly. At the end of the 16th century, Japan formed the traditional Chinese medicine system alone progressively. After the Meiji Reformation of Japan (1868), Western medicine becomes the subject, traditional medical science was renamed as Chinese side from then on. The relation of traditional medical science of China and Japan, can liken to the homology differently and flow, with doing the different branch. Since the seventies of last century, the difficult disease relying mainly on old disease was getting more and more, Western medicine is at a loss what to do with this, and Western medicine is great to the human side effect, cost an arm and a leg, therefore square medicine of Chinese rises gradually. 1976, Japan thick to grow, work province confirm the intersection of Chinese and square the intersection of medicine and applicable system of medical insurance, namely can use 210 ancient side Chinese side in China " miscellaneous disease theory of typhoid fever " to produce square medicine of Chinese to approve for, Chinese square medicine industry thereupon gets swift and violent development. Japan medical the intersection of Chinese and square the intersection of medicine and production centre in the intersection of Tianjin and village, the intersection of clock and spin, large shirt, kingdom and several the intersection of pharmacy and enterprise such as being herbal mainly at present, accounts for more than 97% of all output value of square medicine of Chinese, among them it is strongest to count one in Tianjin village again, occupy 78% of the market share alone. Square the intersection of medicine and manufacturing enterprise, Chinese of Japan, pay much attention to, produce high-quality the intersection of Chinese and square and crude medicine preparation, regard improving quality as one of the important pillars of developing strategy of square medicine of Chinese. In order to guarantee the quality of square medicine of Chinese, Japan Chinese square medicine enterprise begins from raw materials crude medicine until form preparations to implement strict qualitative control finally. For example in order to prevent crude medicine and Chinese are square and mix with impure things such as remains of pesticide,etc. or apt to cause the material of the side effect in crude medicine preparations, besides adopting the strict quality testing standard, also begin to select suitable materials from the original plant of base strictly, improve cultivation technique, carry on impure thing experiment,etc., so as to ensure security.
