May 13, 2020 "It was right to impose the calmed price on the masks, but it was right to impose it first and not on the current market. Because it is clear that, on the current market, the mechanism does not work". Marco Cossolo, national president of Federfarma, said it during the Agorà broadcast on RaiTre, about the lack of surgical masks in Italian pharmacies, whose imposed price of 50 cents plus VAT was defined by an order signed on April 28 by Domenico Arcuri, extraordinary commissioner for the Covid-19 emergency."At the time when we asked for the reduced price for masks - stressed Cossolo - it was March 7th with a letter sent to Mise and the ministry of health and the import mechanism was not yet generated". For example, "in France it was established in mid-March". Because "it is natural that if I let the market dynamics free, the bezels go up to 2 euros and more because the demand is too high".
