| Subject | Approval for the same person to serve as supervisor for the drug seller and supervisor for the importer. | ||
| Details of Measures | It was explained that in certain areas approval is not given for the same person to serve concurrently as import sales supervisor and pharmaceutical sales supervisor except in situations in which the same office serves as import sales agent and as general wholesale agent and when the office handles wholesaling only for imported items, because it is thought that the demands of the different jobs and administrative channels are so different that it would be difficult for one person to perform both functions effectively, but that administrative instructions are being revised to recommend recognizing concurrence in those individual cases in which the number of items and volume handled is such that it should be possible to effectively perform both jobs concurrently with no performance deterioration. | ||
