AIFA rules are mandatory only for Italian Pharmaceutical Companies that will attend a congress abroad.
Any pharmaceutical company supporting or participating in a congress, is subjected to an authorisation by AIFA (Italian Drug Agency), according to an Italian Government Decree (Decreto Legislativo 219/06 – art. 124). The request of authorisation must be submitted within 60 days before the starting date of the event.
