see this one yet?

The European commission has mounted dawn raids on pharmaceutical
companies across Europe as part of an investigation into possible
anti-competitive behaviour that could be preventing new drugs and
cheaper generic alternatives from entering the market.

The raids, staged on Tuesday at the offices of companies
including GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Sanofi-Aventis, Pfizer
and Merck, as well as generic firms such as Teva, are part of
increasing scrutiny of an industry worth €200bn (£150bn) a year
in the EU alone. They were dovetailed with, among others, the
British, French and German competition authorities. The EU is
also working with its US counterpart, the federal trade
commission, and the Swiss.
