Dear Jim,
Can you take a look at this?
LINK REMOVED
I think it is a scary article for you and for me. Look at the line at the end of "commercial", which says:
The whole article is a type of English that is hard for me to understand, so maybe you can take a look at it and translate it to somewhat more decent english for me.
What I understand of it is that this (secret?) agency, the European Medicines Agency's….. and some (never heard of), is deciding all kinds things behind our backs and what they now seem to decide is that DMF will be a substance that will be exclusively locked to big pharma (won't say their name over here as the bot will find it then).
That's very bad for your Fumaderm, I see coming that it will be replaced for the same but then another name and 20x more expensive, and bad for me, as it will not be allowed anymore to use it over here and produce my medication.
Took a look at the Agency also, they seem to have carefully ruled for themselves, that you only can join, or come in through a long road of connections internally. So there is no public control over this Agency.

Dimethyl fumarate in TECFIDERA has been determined to be a new active substance by the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, which would mean regulatory exclusivity in the EU for ten years (22 November 2013)
