43As a preliminary point, it should be noted that the conditions applicable to the supply of medicinal products to the public are not harmonised under European Union law as it currently stands. Accordingly, Member States may impose conditions for supplying medicinal products to the public within the limits laid down in the FEU Treaty (see recital 21 in the preamble to Directive 2011/62/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 amending Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use, as regards the prevention of the entry into the legal supply chain of falsified medicinal products (OJ 2011 L 174, p. 74)). Consequently, the regime applicable to persons entrusted with the retail supply of medicinal products varies from one Member State to another (Case C-531/06 Commission v Italy [2009] ECR I-4103, paragraph 38).
