Revisiting: German, French and Dutch differences, compared posts 91–100

I read post #89 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

The reason German is hard to answer is that the obvious measurement and the relevant quantity are not the same thing, and substituting one for the other is silent.

I came in to disagree and I am leaving without a disagreement.

Prescription status is harmonised at the level of the authorisation and the practical route to a prescription is not.

I have left out the parts I could not verify.

Taking post #93 at face value and following it one step further.

Two sentences on German and then I will stop, because the rest is speculation and the thread is better without mine.

What is documented is narrow. What is inferred from it is broad. The gap between them is where every argument here lives.

The claim about German upthread is stronger than its source supports. I have read the source. The source says "associated with" and the post says "causes".

Regional stock held inside the union removes a customs question entirely for intra-union movement, which is a practical difference rather than a legal opinion.

Somebody will have a better source than mine, and I hope they post it.

Worth separating two things that post #93 runs together.

German: I would want to see the raw numbers rather than the summary before agreeing. Summaries lose exactly the information that would settle this.

This follows post #97 rather than contradicting it.

I would be cautious about generalising from the German example above. It is a good example. It is one example.

Correcting a stale claim here is more valuable than adding a new one, because the stale claims are what people find first.

This is the sort of thing the wiki should carry and currently does not.

Members outside the union should note that essentially none of this transfers, including the parts phrased generally.

Not the answer, but possibly the question that gets there.
