绿色药房是保护环境免受药品污染风险的政策。该文件的目的是比较欧洲国家的相关法规，以便为罗马尼亚的这一政策找到解决办法。采用法律的解释方法和比较方法分析了五个国家的正式案文。每个国家都有具体的法规，但每个利益攸关方的责任是不同的，从监管到收集或资助。在芬兰，过期药品由药店和市政当局收集，并由它们出资处理。在法国、西班牙和匈牙利，过期药品由药店收集，但制药业负责管理和资助废物处理。在罗马尼亚，只有药房和药店负责收集和处理病人的过期药品。为了在罗马尼亚制定绿色药房政策，需要制定关于所有类型制药企业分担责任的条例。
Green pharmacy is a policy of protecting the environment from the risk of contamination with medicines. The aim of the paper was to compare relevant regulations from European countries in order to find solutions for such a policy in Romania. Official texts from five countries were analysed using methods of legal interpretation and the comparative method. Each country has specific regulations, but the responsibility of each stakeholder is different, from regulating, to collecting or funding. In Finland, expired medicines are collected by pharmacies and municipalities, which fund their disposal. In France, Spain and Hungary, expired medicines are collected by pharmacies, but the pharmaceutical industry is responsible for managing and funding the waste disposal. In Romania, only pharmacies and drugstores are responsible for collecting and disposing expired medicines from patients. Regulations on sharing the responsibility among all types of pharmaceutical enterprises are needed in order to develop a green pharmacy policy in Romania.
