	`3.0 EXECUTIVE SURVEY`
	`The Overall OTC Market`
/TX	`Datamonitor undertook an executive survey which examined the`
	`impact of a number of crucial factors on the European OTC market.`
	`Respondents were asked to assign either a positive or negative`
	`value between -2 and +2 to each factor depending on its`
	`influence on the OTC market. For example, if one particular`
	`respondent thought that the ageing population had had a`
	`strong positive effect on the market, a value of +2 was`
	`assigned. A nil impact was recorded as zero.`
	`As one would expect, the global economic recession has had a`
	`negative impact on overall OTC sales. However, what is`
	`surprising is the number of`
	`.`
	`.`
	`.`
	`The following table breaks down responses by their country of`
	`origin. In the United Kingdom, the impact of government`
	`legislation is seen as having a beneficial effect on sales,`
	`while most other EC countries view the governments influence`
	`as being detrimental, in terms of sales, to the market.`
	`Another area of discrepancy between the countries is in the`
	`development of generics. The UK and Other (which includes`
	`France, Belgium and the Netherlands) view their development as`
	`negative. Germany on the other hand has seen a positive influence`
	`on the market with this development.`
