The box of tissues as an accompaniment or a roll of boiled sweets – not anymore. In any case, if the pharmacy sells a prescription drug. Even small gifts of little value, can distort competition, says the Federal court of justice.

This goal, the Federal judge, should not be run by for small gifts, an exception would be made, according to the Motto: The don’t be that noticeable. The price is strictly adhered to.
