AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoTrade & Pharma Ties: India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has started a two-day Switzerland visit in Berne to push implementation of the India–EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), including talks with Swiss President Guy Parmelin, state officials, and leaders from the Swiss pharmaceutical and biotech sector. Local Relevance for Liechtenstein: Because TEPA covers the EFTA group that includes Liechtenstein, the focus on “operational issues” and smoother trade and investment could directly shape how health-related goods and services move across the region. EU Pressure on Mobility: A Swiss referendum on a population cap is raising alarm in Brussels, with concerns it could strain free movement rules that underpin wider EU–EFTA cooperation. Health Access Abroad: A UK travel warning highlights that many people still lack a GHIC, which can help cover state-provided medical care in Europe at local cost—an issue that matters for Liechtenstein residents traveling nearby. New Cell Therapy Deal: Medexus says it secured exclusive Canadian rights for UM171 cell therapy (Zemcelpro®) after Europe’s conditional authorization, signaling continued momentum in advanced blood-cancer treatments.
