The U.K. \u201cis not just a big buyer [of pharmaceuticals] in its own right, its also used as a reference price for perhaps up to 25 percent of global pharma sales,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/m0005msl\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Henig said this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The gatekeepers work in measuring the value of new medicines would be considered by the U.S. as \u201ca technical barrier to trade,\u201d said Martin McKee, professor of European public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. \u201cSo they would want to scrap it entirely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GettyImages-941390034-714x506.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Capsules are seen on the production line | Gerard Julien\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phrma.org\/policy-paper\/phrma-comments-to-ustr-regarding-u-s-uk-trade-agreement\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January submission<\/a> to the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on the U.K. deal, American drugs lobby PhRMA took aim at the process, referencing precedents in trade deals agreed with Mexico, Canada and South Korea on drug pricing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey propose \u2026 an agreement by both parties to recognize a variety of value criteria; and that [health technology assessment] should not be the principle framework for assessing value,\u201d said Sam Lowe, senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about PhRMAs goals, a spokesperson referred to the submission, which said the trade deficit between the U.S. and U.K. is \u201cindicative of the significant need to negotiate a free and fair-trade agreement that eliminates non-tariff barriers and fosters greater exports to this important market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, American biopharmaceutical exports to the U.K. were valued at over $3.6 billion while the U.S. imported $5.5 billion from Britain.<\/p>\n<p>But Brits protectionism toward their health service and fear of the influence of American pharmaceutical companies will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/jeremy-corbyn-donald-trump-nhs\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">play into the politics<\/a> of any deal that makes the U.K. market appear friendly toward the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I were to be a betting man, I would say that the U.S. would need to drop [drug pricing] as a substantive ask in order to get a deal over the line \u2026 maybe \u2026 because however impactful or not measures would be is sort of irrelevant in that it just wont pass muster with the British public,\u201d said Lowe.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nWhile neither side is yet to establish its negotiating mandates for a trade deal some are looking to Washingtons deals with Australia and South Korea as potential precedents.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a statement, USTR said that \u201cthe United States believes that U.K. patients should have access to cutting-edge U.S. products and services through the NHS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like the NHS to be able to purchase from U.S. firms on the same conditions as it purchases from any other firms, with the best interests of patients in mind,\u201d the department added.<\/p>\n<p>The U.K. government declined to comment for this article, pointing to a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattHancock\/status\/1136172576147955713\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tweet<\/a> from Health Secretary Matt Hancock on Wednesday insisting that the National Health Service would not be on the table in any trade agreement.<\/p>\n<p>U.K. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/pro\/jeremy-hunt-health-service-off-the-table-in-us-trade-talks\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> this week that pharmaceuticals would be considered.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Chilling effect<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The noise adds to existing pressure from drugmakers on the U.K. assessment process.
