7. In order to take account of new risk profiles, while at the same time ensuring the functioning of the internal market for medicinal products, safety features designed to ensure the identification, authentication and traceability of prescription and over-the-counter medicinal products should be established at Community level. When introducing obligatory safety features for prescription and over-the-counter medicinal products, due account should be taken of the particularities of certain products or categories of products, such as generic medicines. This includes the risk of falsifications in view of their price and past incidences in the Community and abroad, as well as the consequences of falsifications for public health in view of the specific characteristics of the products concerned or of the severity of the conditions intended to be treated.
