Summary/Abstract: In the proposed draft position the author the author finds that Article 94a para. 1 of the Pharmaceutical Law is not compatible with particular provisions of the Constitution. This Article which imposes a complete ban on advertising of pharmacies, interferes with the freedom to create the conditions for business activity. This extensive interference in the freedom of economic activity, manifested in a total ban on advertising of pharmacies, does not meet the proportionality test. In fact, it excludes the possibility of engagement in substantial activity included in the participation in the market, such as advertising and communication of neutral information about their business for customers, as guaranteed by the Constitution.
