Non-profit humanitarian organisations may have a pharmaceutical establishment, which they own, which wholesales medicinal products to similar organisations with the same purpose in France or in a State of the European Union or another State party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, or which exports them for the same humanitarian purposes to a State which is not a member of the said Union or not party to the agreement on the European Economic Area with a view to their non-profit distribution and dispensing. The pharmacist in charge of the establishment must participate in the general management of the owner organisation.
