Abstract The paper addresses the issue of excessive price abuse under Article 102(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), by drawing inspiration from a recent stream of cases (developed first at the national and then at the EU level) involving pharmaceutical companies marketing off-patent drugs. In particular, the two ‘most advanced’ cases are analysed: Aspen in Italy and Pfizer/Flynn in the United Kingdom. This new-found attention towards exploitative practices in the form of excessive and unfair pricing by dominant undertakings that have traditionally been subject to a cautious antitrust scrutiny seems worth exploring for a number of reasons, as illustrated in the paper. Ultimately, it is argued that this further ‘interference’ of competition law into the realms of regulation may be actually justified, albeit subject to precise conditions for enforcement, and may pursue policy objectives in the wider context of EU health law.

Energy security is currently one of the key components of national security of any country. The object of this research is the basic documents of strategic planning of the European Union in sphere of ensuring energy security (Roadmap of the European Union “Final 10-year ETIP SNET R&I roadmap covering 2017-26”) in the context of comparative analysis of the existing approaches towards ensuring energy security of the Russian Federation (Energy Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation). The analysis is conducted from the perspective of comparison of two documents of strategic planning for the purpose of identification of threats and risks to the economic security. The subject of this research is the threats and risks to energy security of the countries, and thus, their national security. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the documents of strategic planning in the sphere of energy security using methodology of comparative analysis developed by the authors, which is based on the dynamic semantic network. In accordance with the aforementioned methodology, analysis is carried out on the structure of documents that encompasses the processes, the manifestation of which can be observed through objective and subjective methods of monitoring. The authors developed the expert analytical apparatus of comparative analysis, as well as the methodology for assessing the objectivity of comparative analysis. The developed methodology of comparative analysis is tested on the example of strategic planning documents in the sphere of energy security of the European Union and the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made on the need for further research of the methodological foundations of comparative analysis in order to detect the risks and threats to the economic security of the Russian Federation.

The goal of this paper is to explain the origin and development of strategic spatial planning, to show complex features and highlight the differences and/or advantages over traditional, physical spatial planning. Strategic spatial planning is seen as one of approaches in legally defined planning documents, and throughout the display of properties of sectoral national strategies, as well as issues of strategic planning at the local level in Serbia. The strategic approach is clearly recognized at the national and sub-national level of spatial planning in European countries and in our country. It has been confirmed by the goals outlined in documents of the European Union and Serbia that promote the grounds of territorial cohesion and strategic integrated planning, emphasizing cooperation and the principles of sustainable spatial development.

Introduction. In the conditions of the economy cyclicality and the imbalance of financial and economic relations, it is necessary to consider budget planning as one of the most important state regulation tools of the country’s socio-economic development. The issue of financial-budgetary planning is largely used separately from strategic planning issues. In addition, in modern economic science, Ukrainian scholars have not disclosed the question of its combination with the approaches of strategic planning of regional development, which is carried out on the basis of smart specialization. Purpose. To reveal approaches of improving the methodology of financial and budgetary planning by defining approaches of strengthening its interrelation with strategic planning on the basis of smart specialization, which will promote the effective use of the resourses of state regional development fund, increase the level region’ economic and innovative growth. Results. Financial-budgetary planning is a key instrument for managing the country’s financial system, which is closely linked to socio-economic and strategic planning of regional development, in particular. Currently, among the sources of regional development financing there resourses of the state fund of regional development, local budgets, international technical assistance (sectoral support programs, projects funded from the funds of the European Union). In 2019 30.8 bln UAH will be allocated for regional development (for comparison, in 2018 – UAH 25.4 billion). The largest amount of budget funds of the state fund of regional development in 2015–2018 was directed to financing projects in the field of education – 1066 million UAH, road infrastructure – 812.5 million UAH, physical culture – 284.4 million UAH, social protection – 100, 1 mln. UAH. At the same time,projects dedicated to the development of the economy, creation of new industries, development and implementation of innovations are remained unfulfilled. Today, in the European Union, the condition for obtaining funds for financing regional development is the availability of smart specialization strategy. Partnership, dialogue between business, science, public and government is a key condition for smart specialization. Conclusions. Financial and budgetary planning should be regarded as an instrument of state regulation of socio-economic development, which is represented by a set of organizational, methodological measures for determining the volumes, sources and directions of using budget funds in accordance with the results of strategic planning of regional development on the basis of smart specialization in order to ensure sustainable, innovative, economic development of regions.

Production of veterinary pharmacy plays an important role both in animal care and public health, such as for food safety or animal origin to prevent the spread of diseases transmitted to humans through animals. The European market for Animal Health develops rapidly filled with innovative products, updated regulatory system at the legislative level, in order to protect human health, animals and the environment. Today, the focus of attention in the European Union (EU) on the pharmaceutical industry – Is the improvement of the legal framework and its adaptation to the needs and characteristics of the veterinary pharmaceutical industry in particular. Thus Ukraine today - is an intensive process of harmonization, implementation and, at the same time, improvement of the regulatory system, in which international regulatory documents are the basis for the creation of the veterinary pharmaceutical legislation of Ukraine, according to EU requirements.

Main Triterpene

So far, only a few primrose species have been analyzed regarding their saponin composition and content. Moreover, the roots of only two of them are defined by the European Union (EU) Pharmacopoeia monograph and commercially utilized by the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, this study intended to find some new sources of main triterpene saponins from Primulae radix, namely primulasaponins I and II together with the closely related sakurasosaponin. Using isolated standards, UHPLC-ESI-HRMS served to assess over 155 Primulaceae members qualitatively and quantitatively. Nine examples of plants accumulating over 5% of primulasaponin I in their roots were found. Among them, in one case, it was found as the almost sole secondary metabolite with the concentration of 15–20% (Primula grandis L.). A reasonable content of primulasaponin II was found to be typical for Primula vulgaris Huds. and P. megaseifolia Boiss. & Bal. The sakurasosaponin level was found in seven species to exceed 5%. The finding of new, single and rich sources of the abovementioned biomolecules among species that were never analyzed phytochemically is important for future research and economic benefit. The chemotaxonomic significance of the occurrence of these three saponins in Primulaceae is discussed.
